Slower RoF than multi-cannons but more damage, higher RoF than cannons but more damage. Similar to Borfors 40mm or Bushmaster 30mm, 35mm cannons irl. On small hardpoints it would be the equivalent of 20mm, on medium hardpoints it would be 30mm, and on large hardpoints it would be the equivalent of 40mm irl.
Idea for new weapon mount "Auto-Cannon"

Yup , it's been talked about and I would be a little surprised if we don't see one sometime 'soon'.
never going to happen for the same reason you dont see class 3 multi-cannons. They're too powerful even with the lower damage, they would be way over powered with increased damage that you suggest.
So No.
The idea is not to go into some kind more and more powerful arms race with weapon selection. Extending weapon selection needs to go in a specific purpose specific role to balance it's effectiveness by limiting it's range of usability. We already have a selection of weapons that balance power with refire rate and power usage and ammo limits, speed of munition. This runs the gamut pretty well across the board. The future will be role specific weapons that affect things differently than just plain damage or only affect certain subsystems etc.
