It just occurred to me that the weaponry protecting bases of all sorts, and presumably megaships (dunno, never saw one shoot), is all based on the same weaponry seen on Farragut battlecruisers. Federal laser batteries, and broadside batteries.
Shouldn't Imperial stations, outposts, bases and megaships all use similar armaments to the Imperial interdictor? Namely imperial interceptor cannons and heavy rail drivers.
Shouldn't Alliance weapon installations be different again, if only subtly?
Frankly, by using weapon colours that are now purchaseable, these turrets, and those on capital ships, could be coloured according to military alignment.
