[Spaceships] Pair of wing-mounted weapons

Yes!

Now here's another question. Since I brought up space sims, something has been bothering me. Games like Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen have started to center on three main types of weapon mount. You have fixed weapons that have to be aimed by moving the ship, gimballed weapons that can be aimed but only within a fire arc, and turreted weapons that have broad fields of fire they can be aimed in.

Spaceships only has fixed weapons, which resemble gimbal mounts, and turret weapons.

Has anyone else run into this? I feel like with the revival of the space sim that it's time to revisit this whole question so the game can map a little more closely to where the source material has been going.
