[Night Hammer]

haha yeah Ive had that happen a couple times too.....

[NGTM-1R]

That's never happened to me...in fact most of the time the anti-fighter beam will actually open fire on me and fail to hit, because I'm still above the plane of fire and it can't (well, most of the time it can't) shoot through the hull to get me.
Liliths have well-sited turrets...which shoot through the forward arms a lot, but that's another issue.
