Turrets for the masses

[blubba]

A possibly naive question but, why can't ships load weapons below parr?

In 4.84, trade ships could mount any turrets up to level 7. Now, my trader can't have anything but transport turrets. Why can't traders and capital ships mount smaller class weapons for example like fighters and bombers?
Just because you have a class 5 turret position in there doesn't mean you have to have a class 5 turret. You may not like that weapon, it's fire rate or projectile speed may be wrong. You may not like the name....
Modern naval ships carry weapons of various calibres (although a lot are now armed with missiles) from small calibre rapid fire multi-barrelled weapons to truly massive guns.
A cruiser might have four, five or six big turrets and the rest slightly smaller ones (Gunboat for example). A gunboat might have a torp launcher but less turrets or maybe a smattering of class 7 turrets. A battleship might have many weapons of all different sizes.
A destroyer with a couple of big anti-cap guns and a couple of gunboat AA weapons would make a balanced ship I think.
It might make load outs a little more unique. Give more flexibility to ships and allow for more diversity in them.
Just putting this up for some thoughts and feedback.
