Allowing Capital ship turrets mount lower level turrets.

[Varyag]

As much as I would LOVE this. It would be too much for some.

Seriously though. The only really issue with this is funboat missiles. Back when cruiser missiles were good for light stuff I dern near insta killed a whole group of RM in my hessian cruiser using the old cruiser missiles and primaries. But then again it comes down to what jimmy said earlier. A real cap does not go down to a pair of fighter bombers. I know people hate to reference the real navy where even a light cruiser could put up a fight for hours vs a bombers swarm. Player trust is what hurts these ideas. Knowing that there WILL be someone out there that does field a whole battery of missiles and you have to go cap vs cap to kill them.

Then again... Liberty cap drivers really haven't had any good targets lately. Maybe we need a few nomad infested captains for the LN to order a hit on.

The thought that gb weapons other then missiles would bake a BS uber is pretty funny. Imagine being a bomber pilot and knowing that they only have a 800m range... Battleships have battleship solaris which are the best anti fighter/bomber guns out there. Even loading up on LM for a BS would weaken it. It would actually lower the effective range of the ship (slow moving projectile) and only help when fighting a different BS at long range. A BS loaded with primaries and a single Heavy mortar would be about 3 times as efficient with damage per energy point and almost have the same range. You would get a awsome amount of damage very quickly from the LM but it would fade fast and the properly setup ship would win after a little bit of time.
