I've tried this match up again and again with Klingon D5W and a Hydran Dragoon (no Stingers) on a fixed map.
If the hydran plays the waiting game, eventually, the Klingon is run into a corner and ... |

It is intended to be both ways. In the offending sentence, towed is not meant to reflect who established the tractor or not, but is meant to reflect who is controlling movement or not.
So, if a sh ... |

I totally understand now. Thanks!
For the following statement:
two if the ship being towed is twice (or more) the movement cost of the towing ship.

I'm having a reading comprehension problem with the following statements:
Only the ship which put more energy into movement actually moves. Reduce its Baseline Speed by one level;

That said, if option #3 wasn't the answer, then the only other real option is that nothing can carry a phaser-G because it isn't listed for any option mount for any ship.

In general, WPN denotes full option mounts, while DRN denotes limited option mounts. Not the clearest system, I guess, but it is what was done. So, on Orion ships, DRN does not mean "drone", ... |

Some ships double both but only lose 1 engine box, IIRC. the LR loses only one box if it doubles both engines. At fleet scale, it marks the "warp det" box, and if the warp det box is marked ... |

In SFB, the Battle Raider has five full options. However, during playtest there was much whining* about the ability of the ship to carry five photons or five Pl-F. So, the wing mounts were "nerfe ... |

Yes, it looks like you got it.
Excellent! The last thing I have to be clear on is how many impulses I have to wait to terminate EM.
Emergency deceleration and end of turn aside, I have to wait ... |

Any mount that can hold a phaser-1 can have a phaser-G, but no ship can have more than one phaser-G.
