Image Source: http://img12.deviant...112-d4v6ian.jpg
Intent: To provide a super-heavy turbolaser
Development Thread: If necessary
Manufacturer: Ringovinda Systems
Model: Lusankya super-heavy turbolaser
Affiliation: Open market
Modularity: Can choose whether to have one, two or three tubes in a turret: each tube is worth 30 turbolasers
Production: Mass-Produced.
Material: Alusteel turret, turbolaser components, ion accu-accelerator
Classification: Super-heavy turbolaser
Size: Ship-Mounted
Length: 35 meters
Weight: 400 tons (single-tube turret; add 150 tons per tube in same turret)
Ammunition Type: Power reactor
Ammunition Capacity: Turbolaser standard
Effective Range: Turbolaser standard
Rate of Fire: Turbolaser standard
Strengths:
- Common components with many heavy turbolaser batteries (in maintenance terms, just more of the same for heavy turbolaser users)
- Compatible with common turbolaser targeting computers
Weaknesses:
- High power drain
- Slow turret rotation rates (should not be used against corvettes and smaller)
- Punches holes in one's own shields after repeated use
Special Features: None
Description: The Lusankya super-heavy turbolaser drew its inspiration from the twin prow-mounted super-heavy turbolasers on the ancient Munificent-class Banking Clan communications cruisers, with modern-day turbolaser technology; with modern technology, one can now mount such heavy implements into turrets. But such power comes at rather steep costs: the turret's traverse speed is rather sluggish (takes 20 seconds to rotate 180 degrees and, for this reason, should not be used against corvettes and small craft), it drains as much power as 30 standard turbolasers (effectively concentrating the power and functionality of 30 turbolasers into one tube) and, as such, it is not recommended to mount more than six tubes on a 1,000-meter long ship, and no more than twelve on a 1,700-meter long ship. Targeting solutions are similar to those use on standard turbolasers, making the transition from older turbolaser units to this one seamless for the gunners.

Important note: Each tube is worth 30 standard turbolasers
