Most of the time, when you tell a capital ship to attack something, it'll bring its most powerful weapons to bear against the target, which is just fine. But while it's doing this, what are the rest of its weapons doing? The Kol, for instance, will fly to the edge of its range, stop, and engage with the forward batteries, but unless you push it in further, the port starboard and aft batteries remain unengaged. Same goes for the other classes of ships in all three races.
Does anyone else out there like to throw their cap ships into the thick of the fighting to get as many weapons as possible firing?
On an almost completely unrelated note, where it says "Average [weapon] damage" for each type of gun, is that on a per mount basis, or overall?
