Laser Barbettes

BARD PAPER: VERA7700

Laser Barbettes

Unmanned Turrets are the way to go on a smaller ship. Just one or two MFD gunners, plus the maximum possible firepower possible for the TL, can make even a scout a respectable opponent. Of course, if fire control is knocked out.....

Many of the Barbettes listed were not maxed out during the design sequence. All lasers assume a normal ROF of 40 in space combat. BPR is beam pointer and laser short range. HPG is the HPG volume.

Note: The "700MJ Barbette" listed for the Kinunir entry in BL is either a non-standard, 9 to 10 ton barbette, or somebody was hallucinating while doing the write-up. The lowest possible TL for a barbette of this DE is 18. While I'm no fan of the Kinunir (one of the ugliest ships in the old Imperial fleet) in my campaign it mounts the abovementioned 420MJ barbettes in place of the listed armaments.
