Making SE IV more...naval...

I'm working out the concepts for several
new component enhancements, intended to
boost the firepower of ships...whacha think?

(NOTE: Twin/Triple/Quad refers to the number
of guns per turret - think WW2 BBs)

Damage Ratings
*****************************************

Light Twin/Triple/Quadruple
.5x 1x 1.5x 2x

Normal Twin/Triple/Quadruple
1x 2x 3x 4x

Medium Twin/Triple/Quadruple
2x 4x 6x 8x

Heavy Twin/Triple/Quadruple
4x 8x 12x 16x

So, a 30 damage weapon used in a Heavy
Quadruple Turret gets 420 damage

Add in two more turrets, and you get
a broadside of 1,440 points

Not bad ideas. I'm planning to use component enhancments aswell. I changing it so that Weapons Arcs will be calculated in the game, possibly other enhancements aswell.

weapon arcs? how?

Currently all weapons have 360* arcs. You could say that a weapon has a 90* arc by reducing it's damage to 1/4 of the original. It would still shoot in every direction though.
