Topic: Anti-Fighter range

This is in reference to the Starmada AE ISS. The Hayabusa-class Arcturian Destroyer has Laser Batteries labeled "Anti-fighter" with RNG 6. Rule B.13 says that you roll one die against a target in any adjacent hex. So, what is the range of this weapon? Is it 1 or 6?

Thanks.

Re: Anti-Fighter range

You are confusing the Anti-Fighter Battery starship option (page 9), with the Anti-Fighter weapon trait.  The first is a system that takes up 5 spaces, and allows you to attack with 1 die at 5+ against any target in an adjacent hex.  The second is an option that can be added to a standard weapon, so that it does not take the -1 penalty when firing at fighters.

So the weapon you cite (Laser Batteries), is a range 6 weapon that does not take a -1 to hit when firing at fighters.
