I have to admit I borrowed the idea from elsewhere but what about a T3 Offensive Subsystem, that only allows a single Highslot, with only one Turret mounted.
The Turret gets a drastic increase in Range and Firepower, while the rate of fire is slightly decreased. Fitting Requirements for the Weapon are also increased to balance it out.
The idea is, to create something like the Ion Frigate from the Homeworld, or Shadow-Ships from Babylon 5, where only a single but powerful weapon is mounted.

Meh, don't be quite so harsh. It's not the best idea, and the "ion frigate from homeworld" comes up all the time. But still, many people that play Eve are sci-fi fans. Ya can't really blame them for wanting popular sci-fi themes.
To the OP: I doubt it will ever happen. A weapons system that requires the entire ship to align would probably require major rework of the combat system.

Edited by: Deviana Sevidon on 01/03/2009 11:07:11 Hello Sir Nosubstance, I am not proposing the idea because I want to make eve like xyz, but because other games or movies had a few good ideas that can be used for more variations in PvP setups.
Edit:
It is of course correct, firing arcs are not supported and I doubt that they will ever be, because it would take a rewrite of code and a rebalance of practically everything.
Still the idea is a bit more like stealth bombers. Instead of putting an oversized weapon in a paper thin hull, the proposed design is about drastically increasing the power of one weapon, at the cost of other options. To balance this out, I would also decrease tracking and weapon signature, so that they are at best used against larger targets.
With only one highslot and weapon, you also lose other options like neutralizers and cloaks.
