==================== Type: Equipment Bug: Bustard BC hardpoints aren't highlighted ====================
"Bustard" Civilian Light Carrier has it's two (first and second slots) battlecruiser primary hardpoints indistinguishable from cruiser ones. Could you please rename them properly?
Also after finding this out I went to check Mactan https://lh.discoverygc.com/software/compatibility and it does not show BC turrets (or any other Class 2 turrets) as available for this ship (Checked Freelancer, LiNavy and KuNavy).

The only elegant fix for this means overhauling gun classes so BC turrets are a higher class than cruiser guns. Not impossible, but a bit much for this edge case. The other fix is stopping these slots from mounting non-BC equipment but I'm not fond of that approach.
(The issue is that Class 6 / 7 Cruiser turrets are deemed "stronger" / "higher class" than lower class BC turrets, meaning the game prioritizes showing their infocard.)
I also prefer the class reorganization because BC turret classes are an absolute joke and that needs fixing anyways.
Hmm, I see. Haven't tried mounting cruiser turrets in first two slots after that update, tbh. Thought it could be just renamed in "Battlecruiser Turret".

This ship has been extensively changed as part of the Battlecruiser rework and now has similar hardpoints to a full-on Battlecruiser. Fix awaiting release.
