	'''~~Anti-fighter beam (friendly)~~''' is ~~the~~ basic beam used by the [[Terrans]] and ~~the~~ [[Vasudans]] in ~~the~~ [[Portal:FreeSpace 2\|FreeSpace 2]] to ~~defend capital ships~~ against fighters, ~~though~~ the ~~AI occasionally uses~~ it ~~on warships~~ as ~~well~~.		The '''AAAf''' is a basic beam weapon used by the [[Terrans]] and [[Vasudans]] in [[Portal:FreeSpace 2\|FreeSpace 2]]. The primary purpose of the AAAf is to protect the ship it is mounted on against attacks from smaller vessels such as fighters and bombers. It is also capable of intercepting incoming bombs in addition to ships. Against smaller objects, the AAAf discharges three beams per pulse. The AAAf can also target larger warships—it will fire a single, continuous pulse—although the damage dealt is much less compared to dedicated anti-warship beams such as the [[BGreen]].

	AAA beams are effectively impossible to consciously dodge. If it shoots at you, it WILL hit with at least one of the three pulses it fires in quick succession. If you're unlucky, more than one. There's just no way around it... save one. They do actually miss on rare occasions. You must be presenting the turret no movement across its field of view, so you may be directly closing, stopped, or directly headed away, and the firing ship needs to be stopped. Very rarely in this situation the beam will just shoot around you. But don't expect this to save you in a tight spot, because it's much more likely to just skewer you.
