Okay I know these are, probably, really basic questions, but I've got myself confused and don't have access to my rulebook at the moment.

1. If you buy a weapon upgrade, eg Heavy Laser, what happens to the ships original weapons?

2. If the weapons are not replacements, but are considered additional weapons, how many can you fire and at how many targets?

3. I am assuming that a replacement/additional weapon are not one use only unless specified on the card?

Cheers

Confused of Stanley.

When you equip a secondary weapon, when it is your turn to shoot you choose your single target and what single weapon you are going to use. So no it doesn't replace your primary.

Unless specified on the card or by a face up critical or other game effect, they can be used for the whole game.

For instance B-wings can equip Heavy Laser Cannons. When it shoots, it selects a target, measures range, then determine which weapons can legally fire and then chooses between those. So if it's target is at range 2-3 it can use the Heavy or primary, if at range 1 it can use its normal primary only.

That makes a lot more sense.

Thank you.

Andrew

And remember that the range modifiers for attack and defence dice do not apply to secondary weapons.

Oh yeah, good call
