Displacement Device Question

Reading through the rules on the Displacement Device...

What am I missing--don't these two rules contradict each other?

(5U4b2) Seeking weapons displaced by a unit
other than the one they were tracking lose their target
and are removed from play.

(5U6b) Seeking Weapons: All seeking weapons
targeted on the displaced unit continue to follow their
target, assuming the conditions in (4F2e) are still met.

What you are missing is that the first one (5U4b2) refers to a seeking weapon, an individual drone/plasma/SS, that was displaced. The 2nd one (5U6b) refers to seeking weapons that are targeted on a unit (ship) that was displaced.

So if you launch a plasma torpedo at a Dominator and the plasma is displaced then it falls under the first rule. If the Dominator is displaced then the 2nd rule.

Hope this helps.

Y'know even as a veteran player I have always wanted to ask that question, and have simply never got round to it. Thank you gentlemen for a) asking and b) clearing it up!

Thank you. That clears it up.
