I don't like specialized weapons being very inefficient either, they should be on par or better than normal turrets so that the hit "pays off".

About the numbers...

just ignore them... they are make like this to make sure fighters can't fire GB forward guns (since some can be mounted on them) and the other way around.

The thing that should concern you is
damage vs % of powercore used
No other ship than GB can fire full load of "normal" guns and be gaining energy. Even the smaller bombers loose energy while firing 4 of the more powerhungry codes.

@ Scornstar.. start with agile but not uber ship. Wrath, Chimaera, Eagle.. that sort of thing. Maybe even a LF or HF (taiidan). Another option is one of the faster bombers, since that makes sure you stay alive a bit longer => but you will also do much less damage in the start.

With fast turning ship you will face the enemy a lot => you have time to learn aiming. In slow ships you need to hit a lot since you get fewer opportunities to fire
But with fast ships you can get "the uber ship syndrome" basically you get too used to the easy dodging and ace pilots will rape you or you get slower ship and EVERYONE will rape you.
