(Answered) VSP Lasers on fighters
« on: 02 June 2017, 22:56:13 »
So I tried finding that actual Information in Tactical Operations but I could only find information on pages 321, 382, and 407 about their damage (and only the large variant).

However whenever I look at Fighters with a VSP Laser, such as the Rusalka B, (Infernus) {pg 205 Record sheets:3075- The cutting edge} it only does shows up as 10/7, with medium showing up as 7 only. Shouldn't the large VSP be 11/9/7 and the medium be 9/7/5?

Thanks for any help in this regard.

Aerospace damage values work differently from damage as handled in ground combat.  In the case of VSP lasers, they're assigned an "average" damage value because their ranges don't fit into the aerospace range brackets.  The large VSP laser only reaches out to medium aerospace range, dealing 10 damage at short range and 7 damage at medium range, while the medium variety deals 7 damage and only reaches to short aerospace range.
