Firestorm Armada - Alternate Weapon Systems for EDF ships

The EDF battleships both sport powerful but single target weapon systems. While this does make the EDF ships cheaper, at also leaves them more inflexible as they are unable to engage more than one target. A possible solution would be to split the forward and aft turret batteries into two separate weapon systems.

 Single System Turret
RB1: 12  RB2: 16  RB3: 8  RB4: 5

Fore/Aft Turrets
RB1: 8  RB2: 11  RB3: 6  RB4: 4

Linked, this would give approximately the same effectiveness against a single target, and add more flexibility.


There is an issue with the escort in that escorts cannot have turrets. A possible fix would be to make the weapon forward arc, and add +1 to PD.
