Default Re: Ship size vs. weapons

pardon my humbuggieness, but: Bah.

perhaps huge mount projectile weapons would be harder to aim at fast moving small targets. energy or beam weapons would be about the same wither its large or small. you dont have to move the whole weapon mechanism to aim it, you just have to rotate a magnetic field or mirror or something. theoretically a higher power beam does not even need to have a wider focus, it could just be more concentrated.
