1. Rule (5U4b4): Seeking weapons which are impacted on a displaced ship are removed from play, unless the displaced ship was self-displaced.
While this rule is under (5U4) EFFECT ON NON-ANDROMEDAN UNITS, we applied is to a case where an Andromedan ship displaced another Andromedan ship that was under a heavy drone assault (okay, we had about 25 drones impacted on the Power Absorber Panels: We really wanted to get rid of the Intruder, but the rascally Python displaced him away). We couldn't find a rule that described the effect to drones for an Andromedan being displacing another Andromedan, so we used this rule. Did we apply it correctly?
2. Rule (5U3a2): The device is operated at the end of the Direct Fire Weapons Step, after all weapons fire is resolved. Is this after the Defensive Fire Phase OR the Offensive Fire Phase, or only after the Offensive Fire Phase?
3. Since both the Web Caster and Displacement Device fire in the Direct Fire Phase after all other Direct Fire Weapons per (4Q1b) and (5U3a2), if we end up with both weapons in the same game, which is fired last?

Drones: They should stay with the Andromedan ship (not removed).
Timing: Displacement happens after Offensive Direct Fire, not after Defensive Fire.
Order: If both systems are used, the phasing player chooses the order.
