Regarding mounts:

- Do Not try to use a stock-like mount system. You'll get uber-ed into the ground. IMO stock is a bit more fun if you simply delete the mounts.
- Have some tradeoffs. Give the bigger guns a bit more damage/kt, but decrease their accuracy and increase the price/kt. Increase range, at the cost of damage. Decrease damage for a significant price drop.
- Don't forget missiles. Although you can't change the actual missile's stats or range, you can make the launcher pre-fire missiles by extending its range, or hold-fire by decreasing range so the enemy can't run away after the missile is launched.
- Mounts are not just for weapons anymore! Component quality mounts can give you some variety in your internals hitpoints/cost/size. Supply use can be adjusted on your engines and cloaking devices. Use mounts to make fighter bays cheaper on carrier hulls. Make cargo components smaller/cheaper on transport hulls. Make colony modules smaller/cheaper on colony ships.
