Severity *

Medium (Gameplay Limitation): Non-core functionality is impaired, providing a suboptimal but playable experience.

Brief Description *

If a pilot fires a swarm LRM and is then knocked unconscious in the same turn but before their fire comes up within the same turn, the initial shot will resolve as normal. But if it misses and there's a potential target within range, the swarm follow-up will fail, stating that the attacker is in no condition to fire weapons.
