Perhaps I'm missing the exact rule quote, but it isn't clear that
fighters get to re-roll on a "6". Please point me to the exact rule.
The only place I see mention of re-roll with fighters is when they
attack missiles.
When a fighter attacks a ship, does the fighter get a re-roll if a "6"
is rolled?
When a fighter attacks other fighters, do they get a re-roll if a "6"
is rolled?
Do attack fighters get a re-roll if a "6" is rolled vs. other
fighters? On this last one, FB2 is a little unclear. Page 4 reads:
Attack fighters only hit and kill opposing fighters with rolls of 6 (which
destroy one fighter only per successful roll).
That parenthetical statement seems to imply no re-roll.
Thanks.

All beam weapons get the re-roll, if you're using that option at all. In
the basic rules fighters are described as being armed with beam weapons;
therefore they get the re-roll.
Kra'Vak fighters and Torpedo fighters are explicit exceptions from this
(using small K-guns and some sort of torpedo, respectively); they do NOT
get the re-roll against ships (but DO get them against other fighters
for
some reason - this is explicitly mentioned in the Kra'Vak case.)

Yes (unless Kra'Vak or Torpedo)

Yes (even Kra'Vak or Torpedo)

Yes.

No, it only implies that any re-roll also has to be successful (ie.,
roll a "6") in order to score a kill.
