Now we just need to figure out how to handle the jerk who sticks one beam laser and one pulse laser in the same turret!Pulse lasers are defensive weapons IMTU, so BL PL Missile/Sand is common.PLs tend to be shorter range and better “to hit” due to higher ROF but beams have longer reach and more damage due to longer pauses between firing so the capacitors can charge more.Sent from my iPhoneOn Sat, Jul 27, 2019 at 9:19 AM Thomas RUX <xxxxxx@comcast.net> wrote:
A. "HG2 page 29:On ships 1,000 tons and under mixed turrets (weapons of different types in the same turret) are allowed; in such cases, each weapon is a battery."
In a mixed dual turret or a mixed triple turret with three different weapons installed I agree that each weapon is a single battery as indicated in the requirements found on HG2. Unfortunately, I have disagreed with the requirement when two CT HG2 Beam Lasers have been installed in a mixed triple turret. A TL 7 to 12 Dual Beam Laser turret's UCP is 2, from TL 13 to 15 the UCP is 3, and at TL 16+ the UCP is 4.
This is an errata item, absolutely. The idea that you can have *more* laser batteries by sticking a sandcaster into a triple turret with two lasers is absurd. Errata the errata to read, " ... in such cases, the weapons of the same class in each turret are a battery."Now we just need to figure out how to handle the jerk who sticks one beam laser and one pulse laser in the same turret!Ethan-----
