Would it be game breaking to add the option to mount 2-4 (depending on size) weapons per high slot? Limited by power grid and CPU of course. Like say a BS could mount two BS, or 3 cruiser or, 4 frigate weapons per high slot? My thinking here is to fit larger ships with a couple of different classes of weapons. Take the iowa class battleship for example. 3 - 16in guns per turret x 3, 2 - 5in guns per turret x 10, 80 40mm machineguns, 50 20 mm machineguns. These ships were well equiped to deal with any size threat. Even later when they added cruise missiles, they retained 6 of the 5in turrents.
It bugs me a little that the best option for fighting frigs most of the time, in a BS, is large Nos.

Oh, and can we get some armor for the turrets added to the graphics? It's just looks but, it'd be cool. Nekid guns hangin in the breeze, doesn't look right on most ships.

Which is the most sensible way to design a ship when you want it and the crew to survive the war.
We're in a game and if each ship could handle their own and all lower classes no-one would ever fly anything but a battleship or larger again. For the sake of fun and balance weaknesses just have to be a part of the game.

Yeah, five T2 light drones are better than frig-sized guns in most anti-frig situations, especially when you've got nos in there. Besides, the "small" battleship-sized guns are multiple cruiser-sized guns strapped together anyway. They just don't behave like it, except for the assault missile launcher, which turns a Caracal into a very effective flyswatter.
The phrase "solo pwnmobile" comes to mind when I read your idea.
If such a thing were to be introduced, it would have to be a "flagship" and cost more than most capitals to build and field it. Iowa-class ships can't be had in exchange for four hours' worth of a miner's salary.

Sounds like a good replacement for the Titan class.
A solo pwnmobile that has lots of guns of different sizes is more interesting than one which simply has an I-Win button.

I'm sure this will happen some time. Or we will get another set of highslots for secondary arment. Its only matter of time IMO.
