Because a single stinger can only attack a single target per turn. Never
been in a situation where you want to split your fire rather than spend
32+
beam dice on killing a single corvette?
And, of course, if you play Cinematic you usually want more than an
180-degree arc of fire. Sure, the SV are usually maneuverable enough to
keep any single stinger pointing towards the enemy (particularly if it
is
offset-arced), but that maneuverability costs power which could have
been
used for firepower had you invested in another Stinger :-/
