So what is the point of the new Point Defense weapons? A single beam laser Turret has the same to hit bonus as a PD Turreted Gatling laser, does the same damage, and has a longer range, costs the same, does basically the same damage (1D6 vs 2d3). I guess it the PD uses 3 Power instead of 5.
In what situation would you gain an advantage by using PD vs a beam laser? Is there something I missed in reading the section?
Also, how am I intended to read this statement: "Any hardpoint can mount a point defence turret instead of a standard turret, and it is
always possible to do so, even alongside combat weapons."
