(Answered) Surface to Orbit Fire from Underwater
« on: 20 June 2024, 19:15:04 »
In Strategic Operations on page 97 the Surface to Orbit fire rules state that "Only a missile weapon may be launched from under water." even though Tactical Operations: Advanced Units and Equipment table on page 230 has a specific mention of affects on Naval (Capital) Lasers, Naval (Capital) PPCs and Sub-Capital Lasers while being fired from submerged positions.
