Sure, remove L-port and replace it with a turret.
After all proms are tanks, they should be 2-seaters anyway.

Why would you want turrets on a Prom? It's a very great ship already. If you've got problems holding your own with it in combat, then practise is needed. Not a turret-port.

Bojan isn't as far off as he thinks, though the idea that full combat capability in an individualized nationalist ship would be tied to having two pilots is drools-on-the-paper retarded.

The prom has always been depicted and described as having a proper turret on its underside. But, while the overwhelmingly popular loadout for the prom has in fact used the most turret-like L-port weapon available, turrets were not previously an option.

Now, however, they are. So, the only question is, can a turret weapon be mapped to regular weapon groups controlled by the pilot from the cockpit? If so, we could sub the L-port for a turret and let prom pilots mount whatever they like from the now-numerous turret options.

No dear Lecter.
It would be perfectly normal for a HEAVY ASSAULT SHIP to be operated by a pilot and a gunner.
We both know that won't happen in VO any time soon for obvious reasons but it's not pants-on-head-retarded to say proms should be two-seaters.

Maybe a new variant?

I mean, the Itani got their supposedly "prototype" X-1 Valkyries; an "experimental" Prometheus that trades the L-port for a Turret would make a good foil, at least thematically.
