Since the cap ships have giant grid batteries now you can control what can equip it via that so sell us the teradons gun which just so happens to be an L port weapon and perfect for our gimpy 1 l port cap ships.
Maybe give it a little stats kick upwards too while you're at it. It's is ridiculous seeing it fire on capships in deneb and only do like 20-30% shield damage. I'm happy to craft it if i can make a more powerful one than the stock one
But if it will have the same stats then make it buyable

or if you wanna be clever about it make the stock one buyable and we can turn it into a better one with crafting. Then lazy players and people who like to craft will be happy at the same time!

+1, give me some BGTWKOAs!
+1 If this happens I'll turn my cat into a purse and send it to Faille Corvelle...
+1!
+1 It's silly that we can't get access to it. I'd be happy if the darn things would just drop in Deneb.
Yeah. I think the developers should start "risking" again. Roll out things. If it proves buggy, you can still remove. This one is a really good idea.
Unexpected demanding sidenote: (I've also liked the Goliath testing very much. That was cool. There've been some cool capships for years that aren't player-controlled yet. Why not bring them in that way? Take the Teradon for example. You have basically everything for that. We even have manufacturing missions that could be applied for maing a Teradon mission. Everything is there! Let us test the Teradon too!)

+1 to OP's suggestion of equipable L-port Teradon guns. Does anyone have any ideas for a better name than BGTWKOAs?
+1 to Sieger's suggestion of testing player-owned Teradons like the devs did with the Goliath. By implication HACs and Connies too, but that's for later.

The actual name for the teradon guns is Capital Cannon HighPower

Did anyone read my replies about not unbalancing the game so that individuals can trivially solo Constellations and the like, when we're also trying to build a new economy that's actually based on real shipping traffic?
Yes i did Incarnate. The need for capship to capship fight exists hence everyone likes this. If connies are killed too easy, either give it more shieldregen or just add more npc bots that escort it... I know its not an easy way to get it all balanced.
I agree, we need some nice capital conflict with all the capships around.
I think the suggestion here merits a +0.5. Using a weapon on a trident that makes it a suitable weapon against any higher level capship is ridiculous. The trident is a transportation vessel with defenses. Giving it the capital cannon highpower weapon would just be daft.
However, a new lport weapon using the standard capital cannon turret specs would be perfect. Maybe improve the reload rate by approximately 20% and make its aim arc a little smaller, so it could be useful against ships of similar size, queens, tridents and golis, but would still need substantial support to take on anything larger.
Tridents are not intended for combat, neither is a goli, but all ships can be turned this way. The game is currently missing out on having any capship class weapons available to players.
Standard ship class seperations should be in effect, and the queens/goli/dent are the lowest level, whilst teradons and the like are a higher level altogether, a completely different size class really. So, sharing the weapons is ridiculous.
As another idea for an alternate solution... using things already available, i would suggest to use the animations from the hacs main weapons, scaled down at least 50% in visual size, which can charge, potentially consuming a very high quantity of energy (4000-5000 or more) from minimum of maybe 2000 damage up to approximately the same as one half the charge of a queen shield, for balance. Also, would need a good ten seconds to charge to full. Make it badass, but still needs support for good usage. A good heavy weapon, but with a severely limited rate of fire. It would allow two tridents to tag team a single queen for instance, but the trident itself on its own is still no more heavily powered.

I read what incarnate said as "Nope. Not gonna happen.".
So let's move on.

Its the trivial soloing of the Leviathan that should give you pause incarnate. Congrats to Spuck's plugin!
-1 a terradon gun goes on a terradon, stop acting like bored spoiled noobs.
Request to manufacture the terradon instead.
