DId I understand the latest Tribble notes correctly:
"All Single Cannons can now be used by any ship."
Or is it referring to just ships able to use cannons since this note was among the Cannon fixes?
ALL ships as in EVERY ship in the game.
Having it to where escorts are th only ones that can use cannons other than the turrets makes no sense. Though escorts should be the only ones to ever mount the dual heavys or duals.
I think this is a fine tweak, I hate being pigeon holed in my weaponry if I'm using a non-escort ship.
I feel more like HURRAY I can finally shoot down Feedback pulse "abusers" !
It does help against the awesomeness that is feedback pulse. Though thats ot why they did it.
It goes against canon to have "Cannons" only mountable on escorts.
The defiant was the first ship that could mount heavy cannons from what I can recall. It had such a powerfull engine and power supply that it was the only one capable. So this makes sense that Escorts can keep Dual heavy and Dual cannons. Though there are plenty of non escort ships that mount normal cannons.
Cannons are thought of as a war armament by the Federation. Thats why most Fed ships use phaser banks. It's also why most Klingon ships mount cannons, its for the most part a better delivery system for outright destroying something.

Hurray for Cryptic using their brains.

Thats the thought behind it anyways.
Runabouts also?
THey said every ship, so I would assume so.
