One small craft firm point can be upgraded to an 1 ton Single Turret that can mount 1 turret sized weapon. A 75 ton small craft could mount three single weapon turrets or per HG 2e page 24/PDF page 25 the three firmpoints could mount 9 weapons in a fixed position.
Yes, a firmpoint is a small limited type of hardpoint.
Yippee, I appear to be on the same page.
No, a firmpoint can't mount 3 weapons, just 1 weapon, whether in a fixed mount or a single turret.
HG 2e page 23/PDF page 24 Small Craft
"...
A Firmpoint on a small craft is
a fixed mount (typically forward-facing, but there is no requirement for this),..."
HG 2e page 24/PDF page 25 Turret and Fixed Mounts
"
Up to three weapons may be mounted on a fixed mount (small craft have additional limitation),..."
HG 2e page 24/PDF page 25 states that a fixed mount can have up to 3 weapons installed and that small craft have additional limitations.
The limitations are per HG 2e page 23/PDF page 24 Small Craft:
"A weapon mounted upon a Firmpoint has the following changes applied to it.
1. Weapons of Medium range or less are reduced to Adjacent range.
2. Weapons of greater range are reduced to Close Range.
3. A weapon on a Firmpoint may not have its range increases beyond Close by any means.
4. Power requirements of weapons are reduced by 25% (rounding up).
5. Barbettes consume two Firmpoints."
There is no limitation that says a firmpoint which on a small craft is a fixed mount can only have one weapon.
Based on the information above a small craft firmpoint can mount up to three weapons.
Please provide a source that clearly states that a small craft firmpoint/fixed mount can only mount a single weapon?
