That's really too bad...I hate exceptions to rules. Makes the whole game harder to remember and explain to others. "it works like this, except when...or if...oh and sometimes like..."
Does make ships with multiple weapon lines/low AD much weaker. My group may adopt it for this coming campaign, but think we'll have to make sure everyone is on that same page before hand. Was hoping to see something hard and fast. (won't be the first rule we just don't play with...jump point bombs being our current least favorite, though one is just about right for popping corvans.)
