Approved Submission [Nepleslia] Na-V6-W3800 "Dark Zenith" Anti-Neutron Cannon

FM approval received

Approved.

Since no checklist was used, I'm using the 30-day rule to revoke this submission, as starfighters are in the armor damage category, not the starship category, and therefore cannot mount starship-scale weapons.

Depends on the size of the fighter and the weapon. Aka look at the A10.

No. Under the current rules, it really doesn't.

That rule's still not there, Wes. We need to have it there — and this submission was turned in before we made it a harder rule than it was before. I understand revoking my approval, but we need to be fair.

To be fair this rule has been used to revoke out of scale weapons before, all the way as far back as the original FA4 submission at least. Not following the approval process the first time around should be grounds enough for rejecting the submission until the approval process is followed correctly.

Personnel, vehicles (armor), and starships can use/mount weapons for their appropriate scales, but not the scale above them.

It's in there.

Aha, got it. My fault for skimming! I'll go back through the submission and run the sheet.

Quick question to clarify: Can PDR5 and ADR5 still be presented as ADR1 and SDR1, respectively? This has previously been allowed for flavor purposes, since those DRs are all equal. No need to codify it! Just wondering.

GM still can present/interpret as they like. That hasn't changed.

Yes, but due to the recent confusion it would probably be better to use the proper scale to match the article type.

Notes
Basically, as discussed above, the damage rating must be reduced to ADR5.

Keep in mind that how that is applied by GMs remains subjective. GMs have ultimate authority of how submissions are portrayed.

I nerfed the cannon to SDR 1. Acceptable?

Yes. Approved!
