}perhaps it would be time to rehash the maximum
}weapon mount limits? After all, you can pack more power plant into a
}SDB (for example) than would ever be needed to run all of its weapons
}allowable under the current rules. Why not add more turrets?
Why not? I quite agree. The turret rules are kinda arbitrary. The
problem with changing that rule is that it helps out game balance a bit.
I don't see GDW changing their minds on that one any time soon. So, if
we (the designers on the TML) change that rule because we don't like it,
we are now no longer designing ships that will be acceptable under their
design rules. :-P
While I would like to design stuff that makes sence, I don't wanna design
stuff that isn't usable. For if we adopted a modification then ALL our
previous designs would be so much pieces of paper. They would suffer huge
disadvantages in combat with the newer designs.
I know, I know, it's a lousy argument, but if we dump the hardpoint rule,
we're gonna have a HUGE arms race on our hands as all the TML designers
suddenly find out their ships are under armed! :-)
