What mounts are deployable/extendable?

[agorski]

The ACS rules state that only turrets and barbettes are deployable (page 365). For sensors this is not specified but I'm assuming the same restriction. So...questions:

Can a firmpoint mounted, less than 1 ton, weapon/sensor be deployable? My guess is yes.

In the case of extendable mounts, I'm assuming that bays, main, and spines are not extendable, and everything else is. This includes surface and antenna mounts. Reasonable?

Radiators, sensors, comms, turret/barbette weapons, firmpoint weapons - yup, they should all be deployable/extendable.

They are in FF&S at any rate so it makes sense to be able to do the same in T5.

I'm not sure about surface and antenna mounts. My understanding of a Surface installation is that its built into the hull, conformal, or for a real world example think the Spy radar antennas on Aegis ships

Thanks. Upon further consideration I agree that antennas and surface mounts are not extendable or deployable.

They are in Star Cruiser and FF&S...

in T5 sensor can be deployable or extendable - page 299/355/361
defensive weapons can be extendable or deployable - page 303/381
turret weapons can be extendable or deployable - page 301

page numbers are for the 5.09 pdf.

Just found notes on pages 281-282 that say that only turrets and barbettes can be deployable or extendable.
