I, in the name of science, decided to try fitting a capital AC on my Abaddon earlier today. I put a full rack of RCU IIs on, and attempted to fit the gun. I got the following message: "01:04:42 Notify 6x2500mm Repeating Artillery I is too big to be fitted on Abaddon".
I am under the impression that at one point in this game, we could do such things to our ships. We were able to, with enough work and skilling, mold our ships into extensions of what we willed them to be! Why can we not do this with capital guns? Would one not expect us to be able to fit Minmatar technology to our ships? It is impossible to apply enough duct tape to get this weapon attached to my Abaddon apparently. 
Ignoring the blatant, incredibly obvious, contempt CCP has against people doing things in the name of science, why did CCP make it impossible to fit this weapon onto a non-cap? Is this not a "sandbox" where we can fit BS guns on our thoraxes? Siege launchers on our drakes? Please, CCP, in the name of preserving this very basic freedom we have to improperly fit our ships, and in the nature of this game's spirit, allow capital guns to be fit to our battleships!

The problem would be the size of the gun on the abby itself. it just doesnt fit.

Applying duct tape should fix this issue, yet it does not! Perhaps T2 duct tape would work, but I cannot get any....

I think enough t2 duct tape should be sufficient.
Faction is easyer to find though, you can get some nice minmatar navy ones for cheap.

With regards to just the Abaddon, there is a rather flat part above the rear engines, a gun too large for the other mounts would fit well there.

You used to be able to do this afaik, but CCP nerfed it because it was possible to use battleships as effective haulers:
Put lots of PG stuff on ship
fit very mineral-heavy, very large gun to it
==> fly ship to destination, unfit, reprocess very large gun.
Or something like that.

I think the idea was to fit offlined capital mods on frigates and store them in a carrier .

There was a time (I think 2005?) when they first introduced the ability of changing ships in space. Then the bonus of your ship would follow you through to the next ship you used... Like Mega with 15 drones and same gun bonus but without the tracking bonus... this was my favourite :)
Arguably my opinions represent to an extent the opinions of my alliance and in particular circumstances give rise to a valid "casus belli" claim. |

Like someone said before, the gun is just too big.
So you did it the wrong way. You don't have to duct the gun to the Abaddon, but you have to duct the Abaddon to the gun.

actually all you had to do was get a friend in a domi to deploy the drones and then warp off. asong as you have 25m3 dronebay, you could scope 1 drone at a time and redeploy. back before bandwith the only thing stopping you from deploying 5 ogres from a ishkur was the dronebay.

CCP should like add 1 unique turret slot for each large BS where the cap gun will appear when fit. Oh yeah of course the cap gun will be huge compared to the bs.
