Secondary weapons and huge ships

By whafrog, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Probably been asked before but...sorry, NOOB...

Secondary weapons don't get bonus attack dice for range 1, got that part.

But does the defender get bonus defense dice for range 3+? So if my CR-90 has a Single Turbolaser, does the defender get +1/2/3 defense dice at ranges 3/4/5? What about, say, Proton Torpedoes on an X-Wing, does a defender at range 3 get +1 defense dice?

Thanks!

No. Only obstruction bonuses on secondary attacks. Same for normal and epic.

And it's no longer +2/3 at range 4/5 on primaries either - just a flat +1 at range 3+.

No, no bonus defense dice for range either.

Also, the most current Huge Ship rules cap the range bonus at extreme ranges at +1.

Edit: Ninja!

Thanks, so that makes the Single Turbolaser upgrade a pretty good deal? No extra defense dice, though it does have arc restrictions...

All depends on what you're shooting at. That doubled agility can be harsh.

Ah, forgot about that. Hosting my first big-ship game tomorrow, I'd better playtest a lot...
