Would it be possible to make the gun-mounts on larger ships fixed and not un-mountable? This would solve the problem right away, without fiddly energy calculations. Or is this necessary to make the ships cost more?
Also have one type of class 9 and one type of class 10 freighter shield for the larger ships. Reserve class 10 for battleships.
I also sold my Osiris recently to buy a Dreadnaught, and mounted the Osiris turrets on it. I preferred the look of the Osiris, but I couldn't resist the lure of the extra gun mounts any longer.
Good work, Wrath.
