Gunboats with Forward Guns

[DarkOddity]

Well I'm flying an Orca gunboat now on my BHG character and I would consider myself primarily a gunboat pilot. So I was thinking while flying my new Orca through Menchester how nice it would be to have the option to replace my forward gun with another turret.

Upside, Anti Fighter Turret Replaces forward cannon

Downside, Lack of forward cannon reduces anti-capship ability
Downside, Turret that replaces forward cannon has the same fire arc (Not really a downside, but a "balance" to keep it from being too powerful.

EDITED FOR REWORDING: The only modding that would need to be done would be to the gunboats, to enable their current Class 7 mounts to be able to mount the class 7 gunboat forward cannons, as well as mount a class 8 gunboat turret.

Thoughts please? I really like this idea and it would bring in some more customization to gunboats... Forward cannon, or forward only turret?
