In the Core Rulebook, under ship combat it says that a weapon can only be fired once per round. Is it possible to fire all weapons in the same firing arc at once though? This might come up in tonight's game so I was wanting to get that question out of the way before it potentially comes up. Thanks!
Firing more than one starship weapon at a time
Technically, no. There needs to be some kind of intelligence guiding the weapons to lock onto the same target. I would rule that a droid intelligence could be installed for a Hard Point on the ship, allowing the weapons to be used in the same firing arc with the Linked quality. Hitting with all of these weapons would require an absurd number of Advantage results with Gunnery, but have at it! Starship combat is all about letting your creativity flow.
Yeah, you need one character per weapon system, or a talent like master pilot.
Wow...master pilot. That's freaking awesome!
