Fighters and freighters shouldn't be able to mount these weapons because of the power requirements. How about you make them take about as much energy as the codename weapons (most likely more), but have the cap ship reactors able to handle this load indefinately? Would that work? Is that even possible?

Energy usage isn't the solution. There has to be a mechanism in place which totally prevents ships mounting weapons they shouldn't have, either as a Class / Type restriction or by not allowing cap-ship guns to be removed in the first place.
