In response to this thread, BB5 - What would make useful feedback? Snapshot asked for feedback on both bugs and general feedback.
I’d say cover in relation to this thread comes under the area of ‘mechanics which don’t feel like they’re working the way they should be’.
I think there’s also an issue to be had with how cover works in protecting aliens, crabmen in particular, via the use of shields, are often behind cover, but given how aiming and zooming works this often makes no different as you only need to have a small area of their body visible in order to be able to still shoot them.
