more whenever or maybe never

[Egon Bigmemes]

Added a corona inspired FWG to the bottom

EDIT: make that two FWGs

EDIT: more beam

[Egon Bigmemes]

Added two Light Fighter torpedoes with minimal ammo capacity

Yes, Light Fighter Torpedoes. Because explosives don't instakill LF's enough!

[Egon Bigmemes]

you might not like it, but the Battleship Heavy Beam Cannon is what peak balance performance looks like

EDIT: now with more peaker balance

[Egon Bigmemes]

now with more sathanas ishtar

[Egon Bigmemes]

now with inertia based bombs because people like that meme shit

[Tenacity]

Should have a Corona beam option for all gunboats and cruisers with forward gun slots

---

[Egon Bigmemes]

im of the opinion beams should only be on coaxial mounted FWGs or battleship sized capitals

big beams on small ships is poopoo

Theres only a few gbs and cruisers in the game with forward gun mounts, though, and most of them are considered pretty subpar. Having a nice anti cap beam to put there might make them more useful and more popular.

Of the top of my head, there's...
Blood dragon gunboat
Orca and Pleco gunboats
House gunboats (lib, Bret, rhein, and kus)
Lib seige cruiser
Blood dragon cruiser

And honorable mention for the red hessian battleship

bumping but also adding the APOCALYPSE TORPEDO PYLON
