PACT SPINAL MOUNTS
This work was primarily done by Michael Sauer. I believe that these weapons are very balanced for nearly any campaign. SpM are primarily anti-SS/AF/BS weapons since they have a very limited firing arc(fighter firing arc). You must 'cross their T' to be hit, and not many ships are going to willingly do this more than once due to the incredible damage they do. Below is a designer note description of the system. Please email Michael Sauer for the Beam Chart(and damage table).

Spinal Mounts(SpM) are restricted in the following way:
CL and below(all carriers and freighters)-none
CA-BB one
DN-MN two
MN+ three
OTHER DATA:
*All fire must be at the same target(really one BIG weapon)
*SpM must be designed into the ship when first laid down. Cannot be
refitted or modified once built.
*Designations are F-SpM, Fc-SpM, etc.
*SpM weapons are +1 to hit at ranges 20-24 and +2 to hit 25+.
*Only beam weapons can be made Spinal Mounts(no plasma guns or primary
beams).
*One of the most important aspects of the Spinal Mount Weaponry is the phenominal damage it does(x2 regular weapons).
*Spinal Mount Weapons also have a very limited firing arc(that of a fighter).
*100% to damage, and add extra-range!
