Again, i've always seen 'turbo lasers' as capital ship and above weapons for using against similar size targets.

Hence the line in the film 'they're evading our turbo lasers' and the point that the death stars anti capital ship weapons (which are huge) struggle to hit fighters evading

(just like in the game when you try and hit an evading TIE at range 5!)

Light turbos could work =)

Tech by the time of ep VII has gotten good enough to have small reg turbos.

I always suspected the 9.3 used by Avengers, Defenders, and Interceptors as being Assault LASERs or up to Turbo because of damage inflicted. In crosssections you can see how big the 9.3 is, it runs nearly all if not the length of the solar panel.

You know the output power of a laser isn't proportional to the length of the resonator, right?

How about a Mass Driver Turret?

Yes although I wouldnt mind something more exotic than that.

Its a trick answer. Well in regards to the LASERs used on TIEs in the crossections we see that the LASER is around 4 feet long BUT they never show us the internal componets, they do the same thing with the Interceptors 9.3.

JFYI the only wespons theyve shown internal componets for are blasters, lightsabres, and the SUPER LASER, maybe a turbo as well, and lots of explosives.

Anyway all we got to go on when comparing SFS LASERs is damage caused by weapons, lore based on diffrent SFS LASERs, which isnt very much, and physical appearance of the equipment producing the LASER.

Now as for damage caused by diffrent SFS LASERs we see the SFS 1 take around 2-6 hits to kill an X-Wing, 7.2 is around 2-4, the 9.3 1 shots most Reb craft, never seen it used on B or K Wing so I must assume they can survive a single beam for now. The SFS 1 and 7.2 are around the same size "4 feet,"

As for lore in general for SFS LASERs its written that the first gen TIEs used to have weapons that weapons directly linked to the engines BUT this caused preformance issues so they built all there LASERs from that point on with there own generators.

Lore for 7.2 has it that its rate of fire is higher than SFS1 also it can be enhanced to vap small meteors. Mechanics wise it can damage and kill Cap ships.

9.3 is described as being a heavy laser. If you look at them in the cross sections the one in Vaders TIE is around 4 feet long and it doesnt 1 shot kill Reb fighters.

In the newest Interceptor lore it says that these weapons are powerful, rightly so because it kills A, X, and Y-Wings with a single. The only diffrence you see between the 9.3 on a Advanced and a 9.3 on a Interceptor is the size of it. On a Interceptor its around 15 feet to 31 feet long.

Something changed as the series of SFS LASER weapons were progressed forward. Excluding exotic componets they are probablly in there LASER weapons the size diffrence may very well because of the new generator for this LASER, granted you could say that because we dont have the numbers for the output that this generator does nothing more but give it longer lasing time BUT taking other bits of lore into consideration we know this weapon is also very powerful, more so than the version used on the TIE Advanced. With how SFS LASER tech has advanced I dont see why they would take a step backward when it come to sizes and efficiency.

All that being said if the 9.3 used on Avengers, Defenders, and Interceptors are turbos then the backend would be a LASER pump so to speak.

BUt untill the design the actual internal componets for a 9.3 we may never know the configuration. I kinda hope they dont just so it wont become dated.

You know it doesn't have to be any particular weapon,

it could be an upgrade for a current weapon.

I wouldn't mind a 360 HLC.

This official article disagrees with you, Avengers and Defenders just use more of them.

I didn't see anything conflicting. The orignal production Interceptor carry just as many 9.3 cannons as the Avenger and Defender.

No, it isn't. If you're assuming that laser technology is the same in Star Wars as it is in the real world, then the fact that the "9.3" cannon is really, really long is entirely meaningless.

Resonator design is a complex engineering issue, but in the simplest case a resonator is made of two perfectly parallel reflectors separated by a multiple of the wavelength of the emitted radation. In the visual spectrum (like, say, the red "laser bolts" fired by TIE Interceptors), that wavelength could be 650nm, which is about 1/30 the size of a typical human cell.

Accordingly, resonators are built to sizes that are convenient to work with on a human scale. Size becomes a function of the optical and power components used, rather than the laser, but there's no reason a laser that's 1.5m in length would be less powerful than a laser that's 15m in length.

How about a Mass Driver Turret?

Yes although I wouldnt mind something more exotic than that.

More exotic? How about this

What IM pointing out is, from whats shown, you cant tell which parts are what, I doubt the majority of the length of the 9.3 is the optical cavity. The SFS weapons series has there own generatores, most there weapons are 4 feet long, without the generator

they are probably shorter or at the least dont take up as much space.. Then you got the 9.3 its around 4 to 8 times longer than most the other weapons SFS makes.

Going by evolution of SFS designs, and what we see them do agianst enemy targets, size should be a indicator of power. If we dindnt see the diffrence in destructive power it could be argued that the only diffrence between the 9.3 and other SFS models is LASing time as long as they all emitty for the same amount of time and the beams are the same wavelength.

That crude but effective ; )

(for those who missed it...)

The wording would have to match other cards like bomb loadout mixed with turrets

"Your upgrade bar gains the (cannon) icon. Cannon upgrades equiped on this ship may be used to attack a ship outside your firing arc."

It would use the turret slot and be pretty expensive, I can't imagine it for less than 4-5 points.

Thank you for pointing that out. I like the picture they used for the card, I wonder if its fan made or from a comic?

I found the image online, SWG art.

The S&V minis were released later on

and I found their Y-wing paint scheme ironic.

I have even played this game.

There were also 3 factions for the spaceships:

Empire, Rebellion, and the Scum (Freelancer)
