Fixed Gimbals! (Convergant Fixed)

Why not just ask to make fixed weapons more convergent on every ship, instead of giving it the silly name of "fixed gimbal"? Because that's the issue addressed here, ain't it?
I assumed it would be better for it to have lower damage. So, I thought, starting from gimbals would be more balanced. A mode setting for gimbals to disable pitch would be nice too. It would help when fireing with fixed weapons.
 
OK I like the motive behind the OP, but I have a different way to get there.

For actual firearms, you have to "Zero in" your sights or optics. You do this so that the recital or aim point will be where the bullet hits. This is usually done at a certain range.

It would be neat if while we were in outfitting we could adjust the "zero" on the targeting CPU to a certain range. Then the fixed weapon mounts could be angled accordingly (within reason).

For example, if using frags, you can adjust the recital to be zeroed in at 1.5-2 km, and angle in the fixed mounts permanently by 5 degrees.

This way you can keep viability of gimbal, and add some increased customization when using fixed.
