Babylon 5 Targeting Computer

Targeting Computer
Cost: Varies
Description: Possibly one of the most ubiquitous add-ons in the galaxy, the targeting computer is a synchronization and diagnostic tool that controls and calibrates all the weapons on a ship. Targeting computers range from the purely functional systems of space liners and freighters, to the near-prescient attack super processors of the White Stars and other partially biological ships.

Even when not locked on, a targeting computer is what allows a craft to co-ordinate and combine its firepower into effective barrages. It also ensures that the craft does not accidentally blow off its own fins or wingtips when firing its weapons and works with the sensor suite to provide friend-or-foe target acquisition. However, most targeting computers come into their own when they lock on to an enemy craft. When locked on, the true caliber of the targeting computer kick in, allowing even the greenest gunner to hit his target with ease. The cost to acquire a targeting computer depends upon the bonus it applies to Fire Control, as shown below.

2D	4,000
3D	10,000
