[Bri] See FB2 p. 3613th paragraph.

[Bri] Examples?

[Bri] Yes.

[Bri] Yes. Fighters either need to shoot down the plasma bolt or use
secondary movement to get out of range. It is an area effect weapon and
each
individual target takes damage. Fighters only have 1 point each, so die
from
the bolts.

[Bri] Yes. It is an area effect weapon. Don't fire it where you are
going to
fly.

[Bri] FB2 p. 36 suggests reducing the size of the bolt to 4 or 3mu.

[Bri] Yes. Since KV and Sa'Vasku can use MD in a direction they do not
face,
they can always face where they expect the target to be. Human and
Phalons
must turn the direction they wish to thrust. This may put thier aft to
the
ship they wanted to target. Granted. It is not as big an advantage as in
cinematic, but still an advanatage.
