Re: "offical" (fleet book) ship designs

okay okay okay
I feel like a real dumb _____ . [insert word of choice]

In all the time i've owned the FT books I've never more then skimed over
the core rules.
(I was taught to play by another, who aparently didn't know the rules
correctly.)

Logic said that the fire controls should be for targeting and not for
firing, and thats how it is (amagine that!)

So, now the fleet ships don't seem so bad.  Any how thanks for the
'insite' your welcome for the laugh.

    Ummm, that's the way it works.  One firecon allows you to fire at
one target with some or all weapons; two firecons allow you to split
your fire between two targets or fire all at one, so on and so forth. 
In other words, fire controls have NO effect on the number of weapons
you can fire; they only affect the number of TARGETS you can shoot at. 

    Not exactly.  One fire con will allow you to fire all your SML's and
beams at one target.  Torps and needle beams require a separate fire
con.
