This alone would make all the crazy hard points on alliance ships make sense. It's the only AX weapon that doesn't count towards your 4 weapon total, so giving you the flexibility to put them in small slots so you can focus bigger slots for weapons that actually damage Thargoid ships would be great.
Example: I have an alliance challenger. I like the look of it and I'm not the best pilot, so it's the right level of durability for me and handles the way I want it to. I could potentially have 1 Large Shard Cannon, 3 Medium Gauss, and 3 small Flax Launchers. You almost can't get a better loadout than that. Instead, I have 1 flak launcher, 2 medium and 1 small gauss, and 1 large shard cannon with 2 wasted small slots.
