Eureka!

[worldstrider]

Well then Tinkerbell, I've had an idea where some gunboats would have a few cruiser guns, and all battleships would have cruiser and gunboat mounts aswell,.... cruisers naturaly cruiser and gb guns.

To have all guns interchangable for massive loadout experimentation. Such a ship would be most welcome, I'd have one in an instant, and most ships should be made more like it... just imagine a freighter with a single cruiser turret... should be awesome fun, if such a ship had a poor enough powerplant to not hurt big targets (unless you got say 5 freighters with cruiser guns)

The core idea was a gun transporter for groups that supply weapons or use weapons from multiple factions. A Zoner could use it as a delivery service. Junkers could use it. There are others as well.

The fireable gun part was for the ship owner. Its no fun to have a ship that can only "simulate" activity and allowing a meager loadout that can be fired let's the tender player also serve as an escort or even decoy ship--not to mention have a small chance of defending himself. A transport shield and the loadout suggested him places him pretty on par with the Salvager. Not a radical difference.

Players who like "gun running" would especially be interested in this.
