Who wants to do the rundown of the weaponry?

TL;DRThe ship carries a large mix of manned and remote ballistic turrets in sizes 12, 10 and 8 plus two piloted quadruple laser cannons, all weapons built specifically for it rather than generic PU weapons.

I've got a cheat sheet, because I think the only person who would be able to memorize it off the top of their heads is Lee, and Lee's currently not in the country. Otherwise he would be here and doing this. So, starting from the top, we have two size 12 triple ballistic cannons that are manned turrets.

And for reference, what's the biggest gun on the Javelin?

It is 9s on the big remote turrets at the back.

And the railgun on the Idris is a 10. So these are triple size 12s here. Is there two of these? One on the top and one on the bottom?

John CreweVehicle team

Well, there's two triples. So the Bengal, the large lower turret on the Bengal that people would have seen in the Squadron videos, that's size 12. So that's got four.

We have three single size 10 manned turrets. So that is, instead of having dual mounts, it's a single mount. We have eight, once again, size 10 single ballistic cannon remote turrets. We then have... I know, it's still a lot to get through. We have eight size 8 double cannons that are manned, and then there is two quadruple laser cannons that are also piloted. And those are size 8.

Essentially it's a size 32?

Cloud ImperiumVehicle/Ship Designer

No. Think of it more like the one on the bottom of the Bengal, where it's multiple barrels. It's worth noting that the weapons for this ship, just because of the sheer size and scale and complexity of everything to do with it, are all specific. They're not just using our generic PU weapons. All of them are built in and designed to specifically work with each of the turrets. Because you can't just go down to your local shop and pick up a size 12.
