Revert cruiser slots changes

[Shimamori]

I will approach the rear-facing BFG from a perspective different from balance and META, which is simple logic.

A setting is conducive to play when a certain threshold of "believability" is crossed. It is subjective and different for various kinds of players, yet still. I dislike settings where a curvy girl with hardly any armour on is swinging a sword twice her size mid-air at the second escape velocity as if it were a feather and then delivers a one-hit kill to a huge like a truck monster with a wimping sound as if getting shy because senpai saw her panties (because the lack of armour). I dislike DnD rules where armour does not give damage mitigation but gives AC, resulting in rogues sporting exorbitant defence while heavy plate armour, the Chaddicus Maximus of rl, is regarded as the worst possible option for defence and when a dude with a dagger pumps up higher damage than a dude with a longsword or a Danish axe. Maybe, there is a logic behind such settings, DnD after all is a well thought system of rules (although, archery should require more strength and fencing more dexterity). But at certain point, there is a threshold when all goes to hell and turns into a Korean MMORPG.

Why do I write about some swords and skinny maidens with oversized swords? Well, because the cruisers and battlecruisers with the hardest hitting gun turned backwards is exactly this skinny girl. The choice is not devoid of logic: I understand the gameplay points brought up above for the sake of balance. Is it aesthetically pleasing or logically believable? Hardly. With RP and story issues as they are already, further erosion of believability though such treatment is hardly a motivation to hop back on the game and try out the changes. Maybe even if they are mechanically OK and balanced, some people simply seeing logic cast away won't feel good playing the game.

If you enjoy the changes, tho - good for you, not gonna bash you for your preferences.

P.S. My SRP Takeda "Mizu" is broken, so even if I wanted to test the new guns - I cannot anyway.

Tl;DR big guns facing backwards are illogical and break immersion.
