The obvious answer is that Jonus refers to the secondary weapon upgrade type , while Barrage Rockets require two upgrade slots . And the game uses the same symbol for both, but the context tells us which is meant.

But I'm not sure if there is a hard rule on that...

Now there is:

Q: Can a T-70 X-wing or M-3A Interceptor equip an upgrade that requires multiple slots with its Weapon Hardpoint ship ability (such as Barrage Rockets [󲁐󲁐])?
A: No. The Weapon Hardpoint ship ability grants a ship a special upgrade slot that can be used only for one upgrade that exactly matches one of the specified icons (󲁍, 󲁏, and 󲁐, in this case)

and

Q: Do abilities that reference upgrades of a specific type (such as Captain Jonus' pilot ability) affect upgrades with multiple types including that type?
A: Yes. For example, Captain Jonus' pilot ability can be used with a friendly ship's Barrage Rockets [󲁐󲁐], and Paige Tico [󲈦]'s ability can be used with Electro-Proton Bomb [󲁖󲁙]. Each of these upgrades has the qualifying type (󲁐 for Barrage Rockets and 󲁖 for Electro-Proton Bomb) in addition to its other type.Note that the Weapon Hardpoint ability does not behave this way, as it grants a special upgrade slot.

Thanks for finding this thread, I couldn't remember what the dang thing was called. Glad it's all cleared now.

Does anyone know how often the extreme rules lawyer answer was actually correct? I'm genuinely curious.

Of course I suspect that it's not often. If that were to be right then it might serve as precedence by itself.

I'm glad this is wrapped up.
