Ah yes... that makes sence.  Regardless, I had pretty much decided on a Sunhammer Lance Battery instead, a range 9 lance battery.  Less range but better firepower... and if I'm only going to get a single prow weapon, it's got to have enough firepower to do some damage on it's own.<br/><br/>Of course, all this assumes I'll be getting any Ship guns at all... which I'm not sure of yet.  So, were my starting aquisition calculations correct or not, do you think?   And what the heck is a bombardment cannon?
