hm... a gunboat forward gun, 2 figher guns and X number of fighter missile turrets?

Maybe... I do believe we can limit a mount to "Missile - Class X" instead of "Gun/Missle - Class X"
But in the next version, what is the damage rating of the Kusari Gunboat Forward gun?... Are we trying to give this a one-hit-kill weapon?... And can you imagine the size of the FWD Gun on a fighter?
Edit; could always make a gun that is the same as the Kusari FWD Gun, but has a smaller turret, I guess...
However, I think if we did the above, you would have to redesign the ship so it looks more like a flying weapon instead of a wolf or dragon (sort of like the Liberty Cruiser, only tiny).

yeah, well I'm thinking of a forward gun large enough to give the impression of a tank as you say
Kusari "White Wolf" - Virus - 12-01-2008
Only thing with a FWD gun is that it might be overkill. I know a single FWD gun now can kill a fighter (I think), I can only assume the gun is getting even stronger next version.

(GB) foward guns do about 10-15k now. Armor Mk-8 makes it anything but a one shot kill against all but pitifully armored LFs.
(Though, I have no idea what it becomes is 4.85. I can't imagine it being that much higher though.)

With drastic increases in armor, I could imagine. Well, even if it does only 10-15k. If a fighter could fire it with any decent capability, it would pretty much shred enemy fighters. The hit-box for the projectile is rather large.

Gunboat forward gun on a fighter.
Now find the flaws in the sentence.

It also could take a substantial amount of drain, and fire much more slowly then your average foward gun. The foward gun mounting GBs have weapons special to them, why not this thing?

constructive.

Gunboat forward gun, not fighter forward gun.
The gunboat forward gun works on a much larger scale than fighter sized weaponry, hence why it's that much more powerful. If this thing is going to have one of those it needs to be fully dedicated to that gun, and that gun alone, meaning that it'll be nothing but a flying gun with minimal armor and shields due to the huge generator needed to feed the gun.
In short: The ship should only have a gunboat forward gun and nothing else, cause otherwise we're delving into the all too familiar pool of "LULWUTPWN" gaming.
