One of my players spams Missile Barrage almost every turn in a combat. I know I can homerule it, but question remains - does Offensive modules supposed to be reusable or disposable?
They are reusable, but they must roll their reactor die after they use it. Eventually their usage will catch up on them with the reactor die rules. The Mecha Hack is a game that is meant to make the player feel powerful... but if you are feeling like you are getting stomped, put some tougher enemies in their path.
Got it! Tnx :)
