What will they be used for? I mean will they be used for fighting?

Hmm, yes, most probably for fighting.
It would pretty much destroy all other gunboats... lawful to kill the unlawful funboats?

You guys always forget about the hordes of BH Orcas and Liberty Gunboats shooting unlawfuls.

The world of discovery doesn't focus around Liberty you know.

Personally I'd go with a small amount of cruiser turrets, MAYBE 1 gunboat missile as a fighter screen, to make it a carrier escort ship.. though honestly it's quite a hard area to delve into.
it would have a low core, focus mainly on primaries, razors and pulses as opposed to mortars and cruise missiles.
The ship itself would have to be big, something along the lines of a Bretonian gunboat (which is likely the best candidate for the class), very bulky and easy to hit with caps/bombers/everything, but not long like a cruiser.
it would be effective in small groups, repulsing destroyers that attack carriers, totally useless on its own due to low defences and agility, any destroyer can mortar a bret gunboat easily.
For turret numbers, liberty/bd cruiser have the lowest amount as destroyers, but a powerful forward gun, the bretonian gunboat has a forward gun too (a very big one), but 7 would make it practically a cruiser in firepower sans the powercore, it would end up with 4, 5, maybe with maybe one gunboat turret, with a more powerful forward gun, 5 would probably be good.
Its defences would be barely changed, more armour and botts, 100 or so botts and 40k or so armour just as a prod in the dark. Agility would be slightly more than a light cruiser, more mass, between gb and cruiser (that's strafe for normal people).
I'll say here though, it'll likely totally suck, or be quite powerful, the gunboat turret/s is a big issue, though I personally dont expect a -single- turret will result in much more spam than normal (a normal heavy 600k gunboat can spam a basic missile veryyy nicely), reduced agility might hit effectiveness too.
Despite my ideas here, I cant say if I support it or not.
