Starships - Are We Bringing Enough Guns?

[Condottiere]

Engineering for starwarships tends to be primarily the jump drive, and affiliated fuel tanks, so for the Imperium Navy's standard four parsec range, that's half the volume.

Balance would be around ten percent for the primary armament.

An important thing to remember with energy weapons - you should count the power supply 'slice' required to power them into their percentage. The same applies to screens that require power.

 

[Condottiere]

You can cheat with batteries, if you calculate that the engagements won't last long.

Sort of the equivalent of magazines.
