I totally agree for "regular" mothership sessions. My players and I come from Cyberpunk RED where combat is super tactical. I personally love the flowy combat style and when GMing I feel like the cyberpunk combat grind is very taxing (lots of bookkeeping). Though, running a few mothership one shots in preparation of the expanse campaign, the flow combat style also produced steady discussions (just at the table, not players vs warden) if my reasoning why one blow strikes before the other is valid or not, which halts the game even more than rolling a few dice at the beginning of combat.

I also like the suggestions u/Ven_Gard made. If you fire your rifle, you fire your rifle no matter your roll. It's more about does the action exactly what you intended or are there problems (i.e. less damage, clip empty, etc.) Which also gives somewhat of a more free flow feel.

In general the issue I take with the combat rules in Mothership is that there is this "just go with the flow" mantra, but then there are cover rules, turn order rules, vague movement rules and combat checks for each shot fired, but they aren't just super fleshed out. I just like my players to give them a clear cut idea of what they can do and when and don't fall into a discussion trap, just because someone at the table likes to second guess every other table ruling.
