I think you mixed these up; fixed guns cannot fire after they move,
which means that your enemy literally has to walk into your gunsights in
order for fixed guns to shoot. (Well, you get a 15 degree arc or so,
but that's it.) Thus, most Falcons end up with turreted main guns... go
for the effect, not the reality. ^_- (Hmm, Silhouette microarmour,
anyone? ^_^ )

<cough>
Actually, IMO the aircraft rules in E40K are similar to DSII's... but
that might just be getting nitpicky. ^_-
