Should all main weapons(possibly minus shield busters) get a 1.5x (fighters 1.8x - 2.0x) damage buff?

Well, few things have to be considered... Vanila FL didn't have up and down strafing, so ships are harder to hit by a Square Root of 2, Armors are 2.5x larger, so yeah, we could easily give guns 1.4x more speed. Since turning was boosted, so can the speed be boosted aswell a bit, to 1.5 for easy multiplication...

Boosting speed is easy, we can do that in like 4 minutes... (I could do that as a dev), but reaching agreement to this case is a lot harder. It would surtenly make combat a totaly new experience, a simple 1.5 modifier to speed changes everything. And if anything it would be very desired to have that kind of speeds on fighter weapons.

It would make escortin easier, fights faster,... it would also probably make LF's obsolete, all classes would then have to be rebalanced. Leading to rebalance of GB vs Fighters.. Cruisers and battleships don't care much about fighters if only their gun speed changes... if damage changes then there will be plenty of change required... (like all hulls multiplied by the same ammount)...

So speed change, by what multiplier, hard to say, we could do some testing....
