So, basically theyre only good for taking big targets out? I must admit that Ive never used the forward gun. I find it way to difficult to hit with as it doesnt follow the targeting icon.

I actually liked the Liberty gunboat as it was before. It had a decent mix of firepower and agility. It could be outmanoeuvred by fighters and outgunned by capital ships. But it did have one big advantage: it could go into asteroid fields to hunt bad guys something that capital ships could not.
As it is now, they are still capable of flying through an asteroid field when on autopilot. But dog fighting in there is a rather difficult and downright impossible with the Rhienland gunboat.
