Fighter with forward gun will be much less useful than bomber with a supernova => no reason to use it.
If it gets "own" forward gun with better efficiency, them gb's can mount it as well. If it gets a similar one.. it will need GB powerplant as well... and suddenly... we have a new Kusari GB - forward gun and little other guns. But hey why use this then again when Kusari GB offers the same thing with presumably lower agility, but much more shields and armor as well as beeing more allround?
I have spend 10 updates and some 8 hours twitching with different stats for a special nova torp for rheinland superbomber only to finally conclude that the torp is either uber or useless and for 95% of anti-BS fight people will use the SN instead anyway.
Hence my skepticism.
