Just a thought, Mike. Why don't share the fun and invite that David Cutter idiot here so we could humiliate and ass-rape him?

But can more advanced fighters like the X-Wing dynamicly alter their laser zero point? So that the lasers adjust their beam convergence point bassed on a target lock?

According to the novels, they're adjusted on the ground, which suggests they cannot be changed in flight. They can be set at least in a range from 1 kilometer to 20, depending on whether the mission is ground attack or dogfighting.

IIRC the X-Wing got an upgrade at some point allowing its lasers to change converange automatically so as to compete with the A-Wing and its swivel blasters.

He's right, that's true. They were modified for auto-zeroing as you see in X-Wing Alliance--where only the Z-95 must have you reset the zero-ing in flight for different targets.
