Your actions, in the order they were received (which, due to the vagaries
of email, wasn't in the order they were apparently sent):

1. "Immediately following next launch, set heading, then shoot at Wonko"
2. "At start of next nweek, shoot at Wonko some more."
3. "Land, load up gear, then launch."

I did mis-read the rules, but the net result is the same.

You landed (though not strictly necessary - see below), had stuff
installed, and re-launched. Launches can only occur at the end of an
nweek, so your shot (action 1) is for nweek 17. Action 2 will occur at the
start of nweek 18.

Well, the "DimShip Guns and Armor" rule doesn't have the word equipment in
it anywhere, so far as I recall.
