Re: Mount Mod for v1.78
Regarding the 'trade off' issue of using the mount vs. not using the mount, this sort of jumped out of the Last message:

Understanding of Physics has alot to do with miniturization, capabilities, and power. An example of a real world issue -the problem with the Air Borne Laser on the 747, too big, special mounting and materials to withstand the tempatures, limited shots due to resupply issues.

Perhaps the mounts could incorporate a slower reload time... the smaller the mount, the harder it would be to cool it (and so a longer time to cool) resulting in a poor reload rate?!
In this way, the weapons still become say 400% better, but with a reload time of 2, they are actually (on average) 200% better. This might solve a few of the quandries posed.
