The rules for flyers says ".....follows the same rules for skimmers moving over 12" so all penetrating hits are downgraded to glancing hits..."

I couldn't find a rule that stated that for skimmers until I went through the 3rd edition rulebook. The new rule for skimmers is the +4 cover save. Question is, since the old rule is in the Apocalypse book should I go by that or use the cover save. Or is this one of those things to discuss before the game?

I'd go with the 4+ cover, as there is no rule for skimmers downgrading pens to glances nowadays

The "so...." indicates the consequences of following the rules for being a skimmer, so use the current rules.
