As for the lasers themselves, they must have some sort of recognition system in them that can tell the difference between the shape of a Raider and a Viper, so a friendly fire incident is lessened to a degree.

Peter,
Please don't misunderstand, I wasn't criticizing Don's placement of the laser batteries. If anything, I was "criticizing" the original designer's choice. As I mentioned, I simply felt that having the laser gun turrets on the same 3-dimensional plane just didn't make much sense since the Vipers would be exiting the ship and flying right into the line of fire being emitted by the laser batteries.
