Re: Re: IJN/UNSC technology

Looking at the beautiful model of the Musashi class dreadnought, I think
the Japanese need some sort of spinal mount weapon. The Beam-4 doesn't
have quite the right flavor to me, it seems to bulky and notsufficiently
powerful, while the Nova Cannon and Wave gun are too implausible and
cartoonish for my taste. The Kr'vak K-gun or the 'big beam" (I forget
what it's called) from Jon's B5W adaptation seem the closest to what I
have in mind. Has anyone adapted the B5 big beam to Fleet Book stats?

Has anyone come up with weapon/technology

The main variant for the IJN, that I would use,
would be the miniaturization of certain ship systems, at 1/2 mass - 3 x
cost.
