Huge ships: must primary attacks be done before secondary?

By dotswarlock, in X-Wing Rules Questions

A while ago, we played an epic game and one player mentionned that primary weapons needed to be fired before secondary weapons. Try as I might, I can't seem to find any information regarding that.

There are instances where firing the single turbo laser of the Raider first would be preferable to firing the primary (when combined with the gunnery team, you might not need any rerolls from target lock).

So the question is as stated: must primary weapons be fired first or could a Raider fire in any order (aside from firing the primary weapon twice which must be one shot right after the other)?

No.

Not much more to be said.

I've been unable to find a rule to declare an order of firing. In this regard, I would default to the acting player to determine the order of what weapon is fired once a ship is activated.

Just be aware of any cards that say "you cannot attack again this round". If you use those first, it's all over after that. :)

And did you ask him to point that out in the rule book, faq etc?

I love how players make rules up in some games

Always the best plan when you get someone like that. "Show me in the rulebook where it says that. I'll just crack open another beer while you find it." :)

We're good friends and had a 3 hour window to finish the epic game before the store closed. So this was a case of "meh, let's play for now and find out for sure later" ;)

Well now you can tell him he's wrong

If he persistsask him to point it out.

Where does it say primary has to shoot first?

If there was such a rule, it be in black and white

Maybe he got confuse by this (found in the HUGE-SHIP-RULES) :

Huge Ship Attacks
During the Combat phase, each huge ship may perform one attack with its
primary weapon and may perform one attack with each of its secondary
weapons. Each attack must be fully resolved before it begins another.
