 :shocked: Seems like low-hanging fruit, and yet, no-one has accused the Corsair of being an Atmospheric Flyer?

How 'bout some others? Rember the thing where small lasers where point-defense weapons in Real Early® versions of the game? :angel:

Absolutely none of the fighters published before TRO Prototypes have any known quirks at all. Any that players assign are fan rules, nothing more.

And last I checked, Small Lasers are STILL Point Defense weapons...

I think they are only considered point defense when mounter on a dropship, jumpship, or warship.  But, not on an Aerospace fighter.

I don't see anything that indicates that... what gives you that impression?

 The Shiva and Poignard use small lasers of sorts for PD. AMS simply cannot fire multiple times/turn on fighters.
