I'll comment my proposal here:
WARP HUNTER TEMPLATE:
Scatters 3d6 cm. If a HIT is rolled on the scatter
dice, reroll it once: only a second HIT will leave
the template in place.
Comments:
- Deviation is 9-12 cm on average, up to 18 cm, enough
to miss by a wide margin reflecting an inaccurate
weapon
- Rule is straightforward
- Resolution is faster
- Predictability of a direct hit is EXACTLY THE SAME
as previous rules (Two consecutive HIT on the scatter
die) so warp template is NO BETTER

Nope, there are two HIT faces on the scatter die, so
it's 1/3. And with my proposal you'd still need two
HIT for a direct shot, so no need to change the tank
cost - chances of a direct hit are still 1/9.

I recall the current system:
- Throw scatter die and 2d6
- Compute landing point from original template
location
- move template there
- Throw scatter die and 2d6
- Compute new landing point from previous one
- move template there
I think it leads to lots of arguments (moving a
template with scatter is not really reliable) and is
time-consuming.
New system proposal:
- Throw scatter die and 3d6
- If a HIT is rolled, reroll it as a direct shot only
occurs on a second HIT
- Compute landing point from original template
location
- move template there
Have you ever TRIED it ? :o)
