In the ruleset rule “The Battlefield” replace the current text of
A Jockeying Pilot may spend 10 Power to attempt to fire on a Bogey as a Timed Action, which is scheduled by making a comment on any Scheduling Post that specifies a Bogey as its target, and an integer number from 1 to 100 as the attack’s Fire Vector, and a time for it to occur (which must be a time of the pilot’s choice between 18 and 72 hours after the time at which the comment is made). This is known as a Fire Comment and its poster may be referred to as its Aggressor. The Pilot may combine multiple attempts into the same blog comment, by separating them with five or more tildes (~~~~~); each such attempt must separately specify all the necessary information except that the second or subsequent attack in a comment uses the same target as the previous one if it doesn’t specify a target.
When the Poindexter resolves an attempt to fire on a Bogey:
If the Pilot has ceased to be Jockeying since scheduling the attempt to fire, or does not have enough Power to attempt to fire, the Poindexter shall reveal that the attempt to fire failed and explain why. The attempt to fire has no further effect and does not cost Power.
If the Bogey no longer exists, the Poindexter shall reveal that the shot struck debris and the attempt to fire has no further effect.
If the Fire Vector is exactly equal to the Bogey’s Defence, and is no greater than the Aggressor’s Attack, then the Bogey is eliminated and the Poindexter adds a comment to say this.
If the Fire Vector is above the Bogey’s Defence, the Poindexter shall reveal that the Bogey has evaded the shot.
If the Fire Vector is below the Bogey’s Defence, the Poindexter shall reveal that the Bogey has deflected the shot.
If the Bogey is still in play, apply all Reactions of its Features to this Fire Post, in the order that they are listed in the ruleset.

Housekeeping - If you have a suggestion feel free to drop a comment before voting begins
NOTE: I just rewrote this since there are no votes yet and it does different stuff now that might work better
Josh: Mastermind he/they
You need to put this in the proposal category
