An alien looking craft outside of freelancer is useful and offers something to those that like being different. But something needs to be done regarding its weapons.

The strong chain gun is x2 stronger then the codenames but also needs x2 the energy, the energy drain keeps this from being used by every fighter. The turret is similar but because it can be mounted on cap ships and is stronger than any of the cap ship guns makes this setup popular and powerful.

Is there a way to make the guns permanently mounted to the flyer?

I think reducing the turret's damage to a range typical for a fighter turret or codename would also stop the problem.

Strong Codename say is roughly 2800 hull/s, 1400 shield/s at 500 energy/s
Flyer Turret is currently 5000 hull/s, 2500 shield/s at 1000 energy/s. Cut the damage numbers in half and reduce the energy to 750 energy/s should make it tempting for fighters since the damage is better than the Skyblast B but they'll have to balance their energy.
