I am starting this now because Op has already said he will not do it for 1.9
I would wish that VHF were all standardised with 6 lvl 10 guns.
Reasons :-
1) At the moment there is only 1 performance vhf with 6 lvl 10's - the Redemption. Compare that to dozens with a 4 + 2 set up, so limited choice.
2) Using lvl10 and lvl9 guns together screws up targeting because of different projectile speeds.
3) As Op has said, tracking missiles is hard work on server and can cause lag. Many players like an all gun set-up. This would mean less players using missiles = less drain on server = less lag.
4) This set-up would enable all players to set their ships up the way they want = happy players.
So we end up with happy players because they have choice (guns or missiles), happy players because there is potentially less lag and better tracking for remaining missile users. A win/win situation.
