Starship combat question

[Auxioruben]

Ok, i'm somewhat confused on damage in starship combat. When I look at a starship sheet, i see something like this.

Disruptor Cannon: Class 10 (x5) 6/6/6/0/0

I assume that the x5 means that there are 5 disrupter banks, and when a ship fires disrupters, each disrupter bank applies damage. So against a shield threshold of 4 at short range, the damage would be (6 - 4)*5 = 10?

The other way is that firing the disrupters only does (6 - 4) = 2 points of damage. So which way is it? Or does the x5 mean something completely different?

Happy New Year.

Your example:

Disruptor Cannon: Type X (x5) 6/6/6/0/0

You are correct that the "x5" is the number of arrays/banks. However, in CODA these figures are not the same as in official publications. Due to CODA's abstract nature.

For damage, your second example is the correct one.
