 The system's base assumption is that a //light anti-starship// weapon is meant to shoot down "light starships." There's also a matter of scale: if a player shoots the same weapon at something smaller than a starship, it'll likely be far more ruinous. Against a larger starship, it'll likely do much less significant damage.  The system's base assumption is that a //light anti-starship// weapon is meant to shoot down "light starships."

-Version 3 keeps to a "per attack" perspective on weapons, but that doesn't make all weapons equal: a pistol and a submachinegun are in the same //light anti-personnel// tier; both can certainly kill an unprotected human with a well-placed bullet to the head or chest. However, one clearly fires faster and might be a much deadlier weapon.+Version 3 keeps to a "per attack" perspective on weapons, but that doesn't make all weapons equal: a pistol and a submachine gun are in the same //light anti-personnel// tier; both can certainly kill an unprotected human with a well-placed bullet to the head or chest.

-These are for ease of reference and scalebut are not exclusive. For example: an infantryman can carry an anti-mecha bazooka to take down tanks, and fightercraft can load up anti-starship torpedoes to try to take down bigger prey. It's also fairly common for larger starships to carry a complement of weapons to deal with smaller targets.+These are for ease of reference and scale but are not exclusive.
