So what does he make the spinal mount weapons? For that matter, what do
you
install in your Mauridian Ba'Rada Class Frigate (the flying assault
rifle)?

I broke down and bought some TRN ships before the end of their
introductory
offer (I'm so weak!), so I've been messing about with some possible
designs.

I started out by looking at the pics on the Cold Navy website and
deciding
that "gun turrets" with four "barrels" would be part of a Class 3 beam
battery, those with three Class 2 and two Class 1. The batteries would
be
made up of one or more turret, depending on fire arcs etc.

The spinal mount "guns" on the destroyer, cruiser and battlecruiser look
similar, so I decided they should be of the same basic type, in this
case
Class 3 k-guns. The spinal weapons of the Conquest look different, and a
note on the website suggests these are "particle somethings", so I went
for
a massive beam battery for long range fire support :-/

BTW, the points totals given below are NPV/CPV.

way.
