Game Rules
Aerospace and conventional fighters receive external hardpoints for free equivalent to their tonnage divided by 5 (rounded down), and each hardpoint can carry one bomb. Fixed-Wing Support Vehicles must install hardpoints and receive a number equivalent to their tonnage divided by 10 (rounded down). For every five tons of external ordnance carried, reduce the unit's Safe Thrust value by 1.[1][2]
