Phaser-G option for Orions

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

I do not see the 'section mark' annotated for any ship's option mounts listed in 5L1a.

1. I'm blind
2. No ships on this list have such a restriction but another ship in another supplement/product does.
3. This is a general/implicit restriction for all Orion ships.

I can accept #1 and #2 (especially #1) but want to make sure this doesn't fall under #3.

It's #3. This is a general restriction for all Orion ships. No Orion ship may have more than a single Gatling phaser.

Yeah, looking at the rule, the phaser-G note should probably have been written differently.

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.

I thought the same thing. I'll just make a note of it in the rulebook.

Thanks.
