2. Link to the request to be amended:

Akhetaten | Special Operative ID

3. What exactly do you want changed?

A rather simple change:
- The C-48 "Cerberus" turret to be changed to a TL-25 "Mortar" turret.

4. Why are these changes necessary?

As written and described in the thread linked below, the Akhetaten's weapon arsenal has remained unchanged over the last 29 years that the ship has been in service in the Liberty Navy. It's current arsenal sports a C-48 "Cerberus" in order to give the battleship a way to defend itself if it ended up in an ambush from hostile forces, provided that in her early days the Akhetaten used to operate deep within enemy space serving an intelligence-gathering role. Nowadays, after the Akhetaten's return in the Liberty Navy, the battleship no longer faces the threat of an ambush, provided that the ship barely exits Liberty space.

With that in mind, and as recent engagements have shown, the C-48 "Cerberus" has been a rather under-performing weapon on the Akhetaten, seeing almost no use. Swapping the C-48 for a TL-25 "Mortar" at this point is what Christopher decided would be the best for the Akhetaten provided that the TL-25 has superior range, a respectable amount of damage and it doesn't put a significant weight on the Akhetaten's reactor. The TL-45 "Heavy Mortar", the TL-25's big brother, was deemed a compromise to the Akhetaten due to the severe load it would output on the ship's reactor.
