I'm in the process of designing a Marine HQ/Support craft for use on a
company (or MCAT) level. As part of that design I've worked up a few
weapons which I will detail below. If there are any glaring errors I or
even ordinary comments I would appreciate hearing from you.
TL14 Point Defense Fusion Cradle Gun (PDF Gun)
This is designed as a multi-role gun capable of being used as point
defense against incoming missiles as well as being used as a medium-
sized ground weapon somewhere between a FGMP and Grav tank main
armament.

TL14 Bay Mounted Meson Gun
This meson gun is designed for use as an indirect fire weapon to support
ground forces but can also be used for defense against enemy space craft
in orbit and close to a world as well as for use when the craft it is
mounted on is in space.
