        I would say that the "if it can't be seen, it can't be shot" rule would
=
apply in that case.

        Conversely, if one part of a skimmer detachment pops =
up and the rest of
the detachment is skimmer capable then they should be co=
nsidered to be
popping up, even if they don't fire. Rationale for this? Sta=
ying in
formation, etc.

        The real reason is that you could pop up with sel=
ect models and
<bold>never</bold> have to worry about going to half strengt=
h and losing
your morale value, which may technically be legal but would no=
t be a good
example of sportsmanship...

[----->] I don't think you have t=
o pop up skimmers if they arn't firing. As for sportsmanship. If you don't =
pop up you can't get shot, but you can't shoot either. If you do, you shoot=
, and you can get shot. Seems fair to me. As for this, I don't know why nig=
ht spinners are skimmers anyway, it's pretty useless unless you really need=
 to zoom up a cliff or something.
