battleships guns shoots at about 5 clicks away dude...

now that is a gun..

5 clicks? Me wants it! Me wants 5 clicks guns, blasting action.

There is no problem that can't be resolved with a weapon, if it don't resolve, try a bigger one.

Just want to put my thoughts in to this disscussion "Size doesn't matter"

10'000 Lemmings can't be wrong

Break the bone the body heals, Break the spirit the body dies.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides
By the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will,
Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness,
For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger
Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Ezekiel 25:17

I agree with dang8, size doesn't mater. But range does

life sux ...and then ...you die

Velocity matters, too. Those long range guns won't help you out much unless you're fighting battleships or star bases. They're slow velocity insures that whatever you shoot at will be long gone by the time your shot gets there.

That said, if you really want some firepower with a super-sized cannon, go with the cruiser turrets found on the White Star Cruiser. They have a range of 3.0k and a high velocity (can't recall the exact number.)

Really, if you're going to use gunship weapons, there's only one kind to use: missile turrets. They have a range of 1500, a velocity of 200 (+ your ship speed,) are homing, and the ammo never needs to be replaced or purchased. I have at least one on every ship I own, frequently more. The only problem is that it completly takes the fun out of any dogfight. You might as well have god-mode on.
