Of course there's the problem that the recoil rules aren't fully clear on whether you reset after not firing for 1 simple action, 2 simple actions or 1 action phase. Hope that it gets errata'd to clarity soon.

Also, isn't it 1+Str/3?

You might be right on the 1+STR/3, I don't have my GM's Origons copy in front of me.
I do recall from reading about recoil that they did clear up that confusion pretty well. Since you can only attack with ONE of your Simple Actions each round, they made sure you don't sneak around the rule by claiming one of those SAs resets Recoil. I forget the specific wording, but it was pretty clear to me.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

There was a debate on Dumpshock on those rules, though, where views clashed with the example. I also recall that the Preview only talked about cumulative recoil in the Complex Firing Actions. So I really hope that's all cleared up in the end, no matter what path it takes.
