Remember, it ain't done yet. Also keep in mind the quad guns (R2D2 with two double-barrels) can traverse 360 degrees and elevate from 90 degrees straight up to down till the barrels practically smack the hull; same with the small doubleguns. The weapons may be a bit exposed, but they have absolutely huge firearcs!

Tail it is!
Added Bridge Tower and Quad-MTL turret just aft. Also installed sensor globes on the tower in what i like to call the 'ears' arrangement.
Also thinking about fabbing a turret mount about halfway in size, power, and number between the twin-lasers and the quad-turbos..

I like it, alot! Damn cool, but does it have Ion cannons to disable ships? I also agree that it needs mor rear arc coverage. Oh now I see...

Medium Quads Ahoy!! I fabbed a medium quad-turbolaser turret, mounted them in various places on the hull, and rearranged a few things. I added rear-arc firepower as well, although I might upgrade a few of the laser turrets to quad-turbos.

Bah, had to fix a rather embarassing error regarding the starboard secondary torch-nozzle (inner nozzle). Plus I increased the diameter of the medium turbolaser towers slightly...

Be carefull what you wish for.
Remember that guy some time ago? He had a ship showing like 8 guns but when you zoomed in the whole surface was littered with guns on top of guns on top of even more guns
