Do you intend to have some battleship usage on board with this Mod?
If so I always figured that some of the major planets could have a defensive array - Planetary Orbital Defenses - its likely that someone may have well used this before im not sure, however, it would be a big hinderance to battleship flyers being too naughty as you give these puppies a 2k fire distance.
So that this does not punish the fighters too badly tho, you cap the projectile speed to something that can be dodged with relative ease
