Suggestion A: Give it Cruiser Heavy slots
With Cruiser codenames available and the recent nerfs to Cruiser guns (FFS why did you nerf Pulse, devs?), perhaps a couple, maybe Turrets 5 and 6, of the Bustard's guns should have the option to mount Cruiser Heavy Turrets, mostly because it would look cool. Also, it would make Bustard more customizable with no visible downsides to the pvp environment's other occupants beyond "Oh wait, it can LM us now. Better use our Thruster a bit more."
Suggestion B: Single BS Heavy slot
Make Mount 8 a BS Heavy slot so Bustards can Nightmare peeps, or mount one of those cool cap codenames. The introduction of Transport flaks have made Bustard's extremely limited missile defense abilities able to done more efficiently, both in terms of actual credit cost and in terms of area covered. A flak-equipped Taureau can do the same job for a little under 1/10th of the cost of a Bustard, and has the added bonus of being able to make any snub shield disappear at will.
Again, further customization options with little to no functional change in how a fight will play out beyond the Bustard having a bit more punch in a 360 arc on its top side.
Bad ideas, It is basically a Civilian ship and it shouldnt use any military-grade capital ship weaponary except basic guns.
If we give heavy capital weapons you will see lots of this around because Currently Bustard have Battlecruiser Survivability.
It has 7million powercore that can be very dangerous with some heavy capital weaponary
If you can mount a heavy weapons that means you can also mount Capital Codes, that will double the danger.
Whats the point of Military ships if we give military weapons to Civilian ships?
Second idea is even worse, Nightmare torpedo only for Military/Pirate Battleships not for some Battlecruiser-level ship.
