Just to expand on this from a PSB view; PDS are designed to shoot fighters and
do appropriate damage to
disable/destroy them and hit lots of them at once.
Class-1 beams & Class-1 K-guns are designed to kill starships.  It
doesn't matter how much damage they actually do, if a fighter is hit by one,
there's
not much left to recover (consider a K-1 round that hits is probably the
size of the fighter it hit...)
One advantage of Class-1 beams over Class-1 K-guns is that the beam gets
a
re-roll, while the K-gun doesn't.

Oh, it makes perfect sense - it just seemed incongruous with other
fighter
rules, until Oerjan reminded me about Beam-1 kill rules.

So the K-1 rules make sense.  I'm not at my books right now, are
scatterguns affected by attacking Heavy fighters the same way PDS is?

Scatterguns only do 1d3 kills vs heavy fighters (FTFB2).

That's what I thought, thanks.
