Talking about cannons and weapons in general

Cannons are probably the most sexiest weapons in the game. The sound with the rattle of battle and do the most damage when used in the right way.
In most cases I point my gunship towards the enemy and move slow forward or backward firing away, keeping the target in my firing arc. This is PvE, I don't know how it is in PvP. This tactic is effective but also rather one dimensional, dull. I miss the movement, the speed, the straffing.
Movement already has a defense buff, but what about an offensive buff? A cannon with a very narrow firing arc, but that does more damage the higher your speed is? This could be a great weapon for escorts, all ships that can fly and turn fast.
Another thing. The Vesta. It has cannons that work with Aux power. Does this feature, high Aux power - high weapon damage output also work with beams, other weapons? I looked seriously at the ship, but I cannot see it as a gunship.
Another other thing. Torpedoes. With beams and cannons you can molest shields and hull, with torpedoes you do bad against shields. What about a torpedo, a tachyon torpedo, that hits the shield and does do considerable damage against it. Would be nice for all torpedo builds.
