The base RoF is at least 1/20. An 'improved' weapon has at least 1/10. A RF weapon must have at least RoF 2. An improved RF weapons has RoF 4+, and an improved VRF weapon RoF 40+. So, my current game rule of 1/10, 1, 10 for normal RF and VRF is in error, and I'll be adjusting it, probably to 1/5, 2, 20 for the base weapons, and 1/3, 4, 40 for improved weapons.

A different angle, obviously not authorial intent in writing Spaceships considering the order of releases and text, would use a couple bits from Tactical Shooting. Follow-Up Shots (p14) from a mounted weapon allows you to aim once and then pour on fire at full without stopping to aim again. You keep the Acc bonus for aiming, though I think not the bonus for extra turns of aiming. That loss, however, can be made up by a turret mounting getting a +4 bonus for bracing instead of +1 (p75). That would allow an interpretation where spaceship gunners aim for one second per target in a round and then fire at cyclic rate for the rest of the time.

Re: [SPACESHIP] UT Weapons on a Small Spaceship.
But it would actually have to be braced, unlike the weapon in the cargo hold example. Another thing to consider is ammunition. A 2cm VRF weapon takes up the equivalent of 1,000 lbs of mass and possesses 500 lbs in just ammunition.

B) Even if it was literally in the cargo hold, if you put it on any kind of mounting such that it is even possible to use, that would make it braced.
