SE4 is the kind of game that leaves you drooling over the possibilities; we need that kind of enthusiasm & new ideas.

I was thinking you might have been describing something similar to the "mirrors orbiting the sun, angled to send a huge beam of energy into planets" suggestion

For just a cannon sitting is space, you'd still need a control system to aim and trigger the thing when the enemies come by. Otherwise, it ends up as a mine.

If you offer the players a large weapon (70 or 90Kt) that only fits on sats, that should get you there. The player could always research a larger sat and put the 90KT gun plus some shield or armor.

Perhaps three levels of star cannon, designed to fit small, medium & large sats with only a computer.
Oh, I just realized, you could put the Master Computer ability into the cannon component, and make them fill up the entire sat! Try that.
