In honour of the new OP patch I reinstalled the game, applied the patch, and embarked on a new pirate campaign. I was assigned a W-CR3, which is supposed to be armed with amongst other things, 2x plasma-D. However when I selected these individually the info box showed them both as AMD, although they are shown pictorially on the ship schematic as plasma. So obviously, my 'plasma' couldn't be fired. Is this sort of thing fixed by downloading Firesoul's shiplist, or is something else required?

Plasma D in SFC is a defensive weapon with no offensive capabilities, LIke an AMD it will auto fire at drones and fighters.

Nope, all plasD acts the same way.

As I understand it, in SFB, plasD has both off and defensive, but in SFC there is no Offensive plasD (officially. if you mod games, droD fires offensive plasD). So plasD is just an exclusive PD weapon.

Both plasD (def) and AMD were added in a patch (activated is more like it) and there apparently is only one Artwork (panel) for both.

3dot14,
Have I been missing something all along here? If I put DroD in a weapons slot do I get offensive PlaD?

Yes, a little known easter egg... (along with the simplified version of TRB)
It behaves Exactly like a missile rack, except it fires plasD.

I am surprised that it's not brought up more often...

This changes everything

Yea... See, anyone who played SG3 knew not to take a monster mission as one of them had been fitted with alot of offensive plasma D....
