Is there a weapons chart for vehicles and spaceships anywhere? They give you a chart with weapons and armor in R&E but nothing about official vehicle or spaceship weapons that I can see anywhere. Is there and official chart with weapons ranges, damage, fire control, and prices? I have browsed for quite a while here but I can't find anything.

I see you can fire link weapons. This has me slightly confused because an x-wing fighter has four fire linked laser cannons that do 6d damage. If you want to fire them seperatly you would subtract 1d+2 as per page 127 in R&E which would make firing them single a 4d+1. I am all good with this but I seen somewhere else that a single laser cannon does 4d damage? So if a single does 4d shouldn't a fire linked that has 4 do 5d+2?
I also noticed on a B-wing that a laser cannon does 7d damage?

I want to upgrade a ship with the older gg6 but it does not have weapon ranges etc and the weapons are pretty basic which I don't mind but I see there are types of weapons other then what are in the book. Also there is nothing about how to upgrade the sensor range for passive, scan, search, and focus in the older gg6.

well Zarash,
First, there are several laser cannon manufacturers. You can understand products are differents even if based on the same technology as could be cars.
statistics of the weapons depend also on which area you are playing. In Rebellion area, range of laser cannons is commonly 1-3/12/25. medium laser cannons inflict about 4D of damages. This is a guide line. A laser that inflicts 4D+1 or 4D+2 can also be considered as a medium size gun. Damages depends also on gas used. Tibanna gas (used by TIE fighter) has a very good energy ratio so small sized guns inflict huge punishment.
You can compare the size of the Taim & Bak KX9 mounted on the X-wing and the Sienar Fleet Systems L-s 9.3 mounted on the Tie/ln interceptor.
Now for the B-wing, it is an heavy assault laser cannon, the R-9X from Girhil... Have a look there http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Laser_cannons

Hope it helps you Smile

Perhaps these (partially homebrew) rules will help you.

They are based on GG6 1st and 2nd edition and give more options for installing weapons.
