RE: SG2/DS2 artillery

One reason for towed guns in DS: cost.
It takes a lot less tech, material and money to produce a simple
(relatively) wheeled artillery piece than a high tech grav mobile AT
killer.
A world building an army on the cheap could probably churn out 20-30
towed
artillery pieces + ammo for every self propelled grav that's built.
