Help request: what is the Skipray Blastboat armament in XWA?

[AotrsCommander]

Okay... short question, long story...

For various reasons, I picked up TIE Fighter (CD collector's edition, naturally...) again last week, having found a place that told me how to get it running again. I have been having a jolly old time (it always was my favourite, sorry XWA...!) Anyhoo, it made me think it was about time I dug out my tabletop set of rules I wrote to basically emulate it, which I haven't played in... 13 years.
As I was digging my way through the old stats, I looked at the Skipray Blastboat and the wookiepeida and thought... "Is that right? These things sometimes get upgraaded or change, like the way the T/A and T/D stats should really be the proper ones from TIE, not the namby-pamby-don't-offend-the-rebbls-y XvT versions..." A google around, I couldn't for the life of me determine whether the XWA Skipray - which I based my stats on - actually had laser cannon turrets like it's apprently supposed in [Legends] canon. (The only canon that matters...!)

So, after a bit, I went, well, frag this, I'll just re-install XWA and check! Can't possibly be more difficult to get it work than TIE, right?

Ahahahaha! My naivite...

So, I followed all the instructions (and nearly going spare when I couldn't copy all the Wave files off CD 1 until I remembered I ought to steal them of CD 2 since, apparently one the CD file Wav files can't be read - something I now dimly remembered I found last time...) Got all the way in - and then found out from this forum that as I have an Nvidia GTX760 (which naturally, I bought for Star Citizen...) I can't basically play it on XP (where all my important stuff is), because Nivida hate old games and XP or something

Now, I do have a second HDD on this machine which is Win 7 (for the express purposes of polaying newer games on, e.g. the upcoming Star Citizen). However, after going through all that rigamole just basically to jump into a Skipray cockpit and check the weapons load, doing it all again seemed even dafter.

So instead, I came here to ask if some generous soul who can play it currently, would, in the spirit of the season, just pop into a skirmish for five minutes (or possibly be able to tell me anyway, having played it more recently than me!) and confirm for me whether the Skipray:

a) does indeed have the lasers as turrets in XWA (which as I recall probably doesn't, but according to all the in-universe source, it should technically, so I need to decide whether it does or not for my tabletop game(s) and such.

b), Whether if, my blinding pressing W and clicking the fire button (and my old game stats) is correct in that I am registering that the Skipray has two (sets of?) warhead launchers in XWA and whether if so, they are single or dual-fire, and how many concussion missiles are in each.

(Certainly, I fired lasers, pressed W and then fired, heard I was firing ions, clicked W, fired and heard the sound of a missile discharge, clicked W again and heard the sound of a missile discharge, clicked W and was back to lasers.)

I would be very grateful if anyone can answer this, and save me from having to run through all the install again on my 7 drive (and then get out of 7 and back to my XP drive where my CADs packaage and all the record sheets are...!) to look up a couple of small points...!

(I mean, I'm only just getting into Battle 2 in TIE, I wasn't particualrly wanting to play XWA again... Yet!)

I just hopped in to the Skipray. It is armed with 12 missiles with two launchers which can fire single or linked. Two laser cannons in what looks like a turret however the turret doesn't function. Three ion cannons arrayed vertically on each dorsal fin and one in the nose.

Ace! Thank you very much!

On that basis, I reckon I will make the lasers a turret in my tabletop game, then (and chalk it up to XWA's slightly imperfect modelling (much in the same way as not having the S3 Y-Wing variant, which we didn't get in any of the series, I don't think - which might have actually made the Y-Wing slightly less laughable...!)
