Can you talk a little bit more about the new weapon size system, how universal it will be: double S3 for the Hornet, eight times S2 for the Sabre?asked by Tiff

TL;DRSpecifics are still being worked out ship by ship, but twin-link fixed mounts are likeliest on underslung canards of some ships, depending on what looks right and fits the rebalanced weapon sizes.

Not all the specifics, so it's more something that we're going to still be going through each ship. Right now the safest bets for what those twin-link fixed are going to be applicable for would be underslung canards on different ships. So ideally the Hornet, the Mustang, Vanguard, not sure about the Avenger or the Gladius. It's still again going to be one of those: go through it, see what fits, see what looks right, because also part of this is making sure that the visual looks right. And part of why some of that new sizing happened is because the hardpoint post we made last year was before we realized we have to redo some physical volumes on these weapons, and when we got those rebalanced, size ones on, like, the Hornet ball turret just look ridiculous, like it's toothpicks. So making sure that the look and feel hold up both in terms of the potency and the art.
