-It would be the same as phaser/weapon fire from a shuttle/fighter. If they can, it can. If they can't, it can't.....Lobo

I didn't know shuttles/fighters could damage Sector HQ's. I would have said it can't, since it's not on a ship/dragon/psy/etc.

Shuttles and fighters are special types of equipment cards, they can
move around through space and so can shoot at SHQs just like ships
whereas bases cannot.
The E7 Technical Display can be played to bases and allows them to
target SHQs but I don't know if it can be used on another piece of
equipment, so I'm looking it up.
the text of the accelerator says its played to any star system or planet
card. So it seems clear the accelerator is played to a terrain whereas the
technical display is played to a ship of base. On the surface that seems
to make it a no-no.
I would think though, that you could use a base to do this...
Use an R/T2 asteroid shield to protect your base, then slap an artificial
landmass on the asteroid shield. Now you've got a big nasty planet that
can fly around on a ship so then you play the accelerator to the asteroid
shield, so you get a 20 strength accelerator on your asteroid that is
defending your base, and then you put the E7 tactical display on the
base which then would let the base target an enemy SHQ wth the
accelerator on the asteroid thats on the base.

Equipment cards in play on these cards may also fire at the Sector HQ or Psy
Network. |

A Shuttle/Fighter can only fire on a Sector HQ only when it is played to a Ship (or Dragons or Psy... but you can't play Shuttles to Dragons or Psys).
The E7 Technical Display specifically says it's played to a ship or base.
The Accelerator isn't played to a ship, dragon, or psy so cannot target the Sector HQ.
Again... the Accelerator cannot be played to an Asteroid Shield because it's not a "Star, Dwarf, or System."
Now, whether or not a Base played to an Asteroid Shield played to a Ship can target a SHQ is another question... technically the Base isn't played to the ship, and the rule doesn't say "played to a card stack" but rather "in play on one of [ship, dragon, or psy] cards" and the base isn't actually in play on the ship.

Asteroid shields cannot be the basis of a stack.

You had some interesting thoughts... they just didn't jibe with the rules, that's all.
