I think that the following would be best:

Cost Percent := 500
Tonnage Percent := 500

If you make the tonnage percent 1000, then this mount would equal 10 normal weapons. If you use normal weapons instead of this mount, you only have to hit with one of them and then this mount is pointless. In my experience, I have always been able to hit with at least 10% of my weapons. If you make the tonnage percent 500, then this mount would only be equal to 5 normal weapons. Without max techs, this mount would allow you to make an effective max-range attack ship. If the tonnage is 1000%, then the ship wouldn't have enough firepower to have an effect on the battle. Sure, he'd always hit, but the enemy would be able to hit with at least a few weapons, and would easily outgun the ship with the accuracy mount.
