What I'm saying is Guidance Chips do not affect your primary weapon attacks. If you fire your primary weapon, Guidance Chips do not modify a die to a hit or crit. They only affect torpedo and missile attacks, and they only reference your primary weapon value to determine whether you get to modify to a hit or to a crit. That's not clear in the sentence I quoted above.

You could use Guidance Chips when firing Harpoon Missiles to get a crit and trigger an existing Harpooned condition from a previous Harpoon Missile, but firing with your primary weapon doesn't grant a free crit with chips. The Harpooned condition also isn't applied until after the missiles have resolved their dice, so the chips won't trigger the condition from the same missiles they're modifying -- it has to be a condition from previous missiles.

For example:

1) Ship A fires Harpoon missiles, Chips a blank to a crit, and deals a hit + crit after evades are rolled.

2) Ship A applies Harpooned to the target

3) Ship B fires Harpoon missiles, chips a focus to a crit, and deals 2 hits and a crit after evasion.

4) Ship B's crit triggers the Harpooned condition from Ship A.

5) Ship B applies a new Harpooned condition to the target now that its attack has resolved.

6) Ship C lacks a lock and so fires its primary weapon.  It cannot use Guidance Chips for this attack.

So your sentence I quoted is either incorrect on the rules (which I suspect isn't the case), or confusingly written (it's not immediately clear you mean use the chips with a Harpoon shot to trigger the condition from a previous harpoon shot). That's what I'm trying to point out to help you improve the article. I'm not trying to be mean. I intend this as constructive, and I overall liked your article; that's why I'm trying to help you. Sorry for the longform answer, I just didn't want to keep giving the wrong impression.

BTW it's also a bit hard for low-PS ships to obtain target locks for munitions, so giving one of your 3 or 4 Kimogilas tracers might help the team a lot.
