Added the cannon mounts. From 20mm to 100mm in 5 steps. -10% accuracy per level, variable increases in damage power up to +70% for the biggie. The biggest two get a range increase as a bonus.
Weapon size scales as radius squared, so you get the whole gamut from 2kt guns to 50kt guns.
...
Hmm. Doesn't this mean that 2kT guns have much more firepower AND accuracy than the same tonnage of larger guns? Or is the 70% firepower advantage calculated per kT, so the 50kT gun actually does 50/2 x 1.7 = 42.5 times the damage of a 2kT gun?
