    Yes but if you look at the other weapons the multiplier increases as you move up but the base damage is higher as well.

    Yeah, I am not actually sure what "and treats the bridge as if it is Hardened" means within the context of Ion weapons. Which components...

    Ah. I have the PDF so that tracks. It also shows bays as 6D, 8D and 10D so I am still not sure why the barbette would be 7D :(

    Is there a version number for that. My HG2022 p30 shows 2d*10. 7D also seems high given the small bay is only 6D. Normally the weapon...

    Hmm. Lets look at a worked example. I'll use the SBD from CRB p200. The attacker B1 is irrelevant but they have a small Ion cannon bay...

    The only specific examples of Hardened systems are the Bridge (when you take the Radiation Shielding hull option) and the /fib computer...

    Power is deducted from the power pool that round. Power stored in the battery does not become part of the pool until you allocate it. I...

    Where did I say that batteries were not a power system? Where they appear in the rules is irrelevant. So, weapons do not appear in the...

    That is an assertion not RAW. Batteries are explicitly storage and only release their power on demand through the ships power systems...

    Perhaps Ion weapons are poorly written then. The absence of a negation is not an affirmation. "Any system that draws power from the...

    Harden the hull (basic power is allocated for the hull) and everything inside is hardened.

    Not the plant, but the computer, Batteries also have power allocated to them so they can be hardened. Ion weapons do not do damage to...
