Are there no figures for TradeFed ship weapons in the ICS?
The Core ship only have kiloton scale anti-fighter guns.

THe fact of the matter is your not in the AQ to blow shit up, well not entirely, your here to conquer. For all the fire power a ship like a Carrack Class Cruiser may have it won't hold enough army to hold a planet and thats what you need to do.

But the doughnut has huge quad turbolasers. The tiny point-defense guns don't represent the offensive capabilities of the TF ships.

The fact that Trade Federation Battleships are really Freaighters rather than real warships and the heavy weapons are concealable means that they would never compaire to any ship that was designed as a warship from the ground up. It is made obvious that they would never dare face a real warship.

Again, they don't have to do well against a real Imperial or Republic warship. In this scenario, they only have to do well against a United Federation of Planets warship. If they have only a tenth of the power of an Acclamator class transport, they have more than enough.

This is true and the fact that they have much larger cargo capacity compaired to a ISD means that it could occupy more planets. The fact that all of the army is made of mechanized units means they can build more as needed once a planet is occupied

Exactly why I proposed using one in the first place.

Agreed, I was trying to point out the chance of it wielding HTL is fairly low. But since Medium Turbolasers....
