' Wrote:What matters to me is how normal testing ends like and the opinions of both sides.
There are more than two sides to this debate.
Why not go outside the norms?
1) Make the ship bigger.
2) Move the two lowest forward turrets onto the sides of the ship - at the center of the large round object at towards the rear.
These guns can still fire forward, but could also rotate around to shoot back as well.
Trade off some size for some extra fire coverage for the rear...
