Correct.

Can I ask; would the EMP have the same effect as a point defence weapon? Are
heavy fighters harder to knock out as per a pdaf or would an EMP shot take
them out just the same as a normal fighter? Dave

No, a Class-1 EMP battery would have the same effect on fighters as a
normal Class-1 Beam battery.

(Well, the same *game* effect anyway - the EMP fries all active systems
aboard the fighter whereas the standard beam blows the fighter's hull to

shrapnel, but either way the fighter is completely knocked out of the battle
by a single hit.)
