Ship mining attachment confusion

I have a Firebird, and bought a couple versions of these new mounted lasers.
Also tried on a sleipnir and quad, they won’t attach.
What am I missing? and are attached lasers in the same auction category? I see none.

I read through the link provided on the client loader:

View the table below for general guidelines on whether your ship allows for mounted or attached mining lasers.

I guess you are trying to attach an M laser, or gunner laser, which you cant. You equip those like a gun from the gunner seat. A lasers you can attach to the ship.

Sindri and Chamrosh are also gunner lasers which you cant attach.

On a quad alone and firing from passenger seat you end up saving lots of fuel by using the M type. (yeah you use it like a normal gun)

The crosshair is a bit junky and sometimes it even disappears and also lower DPS but the fuel economy worth it on my view. With todays VU both TT mining laser last longer too, which is great.

add parameter “Power” to your table it would be more usefull )

[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD]Quad-Wing[/TD]
[TD]up to Middle power laser[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Sleipnir[/TD]
[TD]up to Middle power laser[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

yeah having done both, mounted is better. Can also tier the laser for more dps. So that is the go as i’m finding exactly as you say.

So basically when MA provided the table shown in op they should have included three columns i.e. Attached Mining Laser, Mounted Mining Laser, Equipped mining laser/gunner seat.

Is this correct?
