[GZG] And now for something completely different... and maybe even on topic

Ok, so I will NOT contribute to the sheep-fest.

I will, however, ask an FT game balance question.  I have a home-brew 
fleet that I've been working on using the brigade models AmRep ships. 
The 
ships, for those who are not familiar with them, tend to have large, 
clearly forward firing guns.

My current designs use weak hulls, no armor, shields, and combinations
of 
beam weapon and p-torps (depending on specific ship, of course), and 
almost evertthing in the fleet is fairly quick with thrust of 6 or so.

Now, with that background, I was poking through FB2 last night and
started 
wondering about k-guns.  If they were mounted on human-style hulls,
would 
there be any potential balance problems?  I think that they might be
more 
fun for the big-ass cannons, and the "only one arc" piece works nicely. 
I 
wouldn't be using other stuff like scatter guns and advanced
drives...just 
the k-guns.

I'd apprecaite it if anyone with strong opinions (like I'd find that 
here!) would let me know if this sounds OK or cheesey...

:)

Thanks,
