There appears to be confusion between hardpoint classes and weapon sizes, both of which are numeric, in effect what weapons can mount on what ships. Are you planning to adjust these systems to make the mount setups easier to understand?asked by William George

Classes, one, two, three, four, basically just tell what the weapon can do on that hardpoint. So for instance, a one is just fixed forward, a two can move side to side or up and down and sometimes in every direction. Threes are missiles, so they're different, no other weapons can go on those. And then fours are turrets, and you can slap smaller guns into turrets. So that's all the classes are for. The sizes are what really matter, because each hardpoint on a ship has a size, a maximum size and a minimum size for what weapons can fit on it.
