Syntax: +cover (for soldiers on the ground) Allows you to avoid being shot by ducking behind cover. However, while so concealed, you are more vulnerable to the effects of melee attacks, since it's hard to dodge when wedged between two chunks of plasteel. +cover (for vessels in space) Allows a suitably equipped space craft to protect the ground beneath it from bombardment. A spacecraft running interference in this manner cannot also blockade other vessels.
