put it that way - everyone complained about the BHG gunship - no one EVER complained about the rogue gunship ( which incidently is not much bigger ) - but here is the deal...... the kusari gunboat has only 4 turrets that fire foreward, too. - so... 4 turrets is OK for a ship of that size.
leaves the question if some of the other gunboats don t possibly have too many turrets. - after all, the arms race made almost every gunboat have at least 6 turrets now.
i think the hackers, rogue, kusari, BHG gunship should all have only 4 forward firing turrets anyway - if they have more, its too much... .
but for the job this ship is meant to do - 4 turrets will be enough. - its not a gunboat that can fight fighters, bombers and capital ships alike like the corsair GB or the scorpion GB.... its a smaller vessel after all, only 3 times bigger than the barghest.
