This seems pretty useless to me. This mount is a penalizing mount. Everything is equal to the normal mount (by ratios) except for the range, which is decreased by 1. So overall, a ship using this mount will be outclassed by a ship of the same technology using regular weapons. The only purpose I can think of for this mount is putting a large weapon like a Wave Motion Gun on an Escort or a Frigate, which doesn't seem very useful to me.
