Topic: Question about firing arc modifier

If I have a weapon bank that is:

Phaser-1 [FX2][AX2]

If a target is in SR arc (i.e. includes both weapon arc), do I need to fire the Phaser-1 bank twice with a -2 modifier?

Or can a weapons bank only fire once and the above needs to be re-done to make the arcs mutually excessive? Something like:

Phaser-1 [SR0][PR0][FF2][AA2]

You can do that or you can use the rule p26, although sometimes, both don't give you the same result (but if different, it's usually +/- one AD).

A quick note on terminology -- what you've listed above is a "battery" with two "banks", one firing FX and one firing AX.

So, you can either fire each bank separately, with a -2 attack modifier each time, or make a single attack with a zero modifier (-2 + 2 for the combined fire option).
