Or it would mean that indie lawful caps might claim a whole lot of friendly fire kills against their fighter counterparts, which will eventually result in additional restrictions being put on them...
Im going to laugh when someone figures out how to use this gun in conjunction with the traditional short range flak. Its going to be short range flak detonating long range artillery at short range, killing everything around the BS and damaging the pilot itself.
But, if you think it can work without being used in some way that it wasnt meant to be used then its all good >_>
EDIT:
By which I mean one siege ship is getting swarmed.
It pulls next to a friendly BS, which flaks it.
Everything explodes.
The end.
Consider this as some kind of special capital ship forward weapon.
I for one am keen on seeing some ships with 'special' weapons - rather than variations on the same theme.
Another 'special' variant - would be one that 'supercharges'. That is it acts a lot like the Cruise engines - powers up, drains all power, cant fire any other guns - but when it fires it flies out at very high speed.
