    The document provides revisions and additions to the rules for Emperor Norton's Starship combat system. Key changes include: 1) New weapon qualities of Target Lock and Slow Tracking are added that modify combat check difficulties depending on whether a target is actively locked on to or their speed. 2) The Blanket Barrage action allows selecting multiple weapons to attack all targets within an arc, potentially causing automatic hits. 3) Vehicle characteristics like Handling and Shields are revised, with Shields providing additional soak against hits rather than bonuses. 4) Maneuvers like Accelerate/Decelerate and Punch It are removed and rolled into the revised Fly/Drive maneuver, which allows changing speed or position.
