The Nova Cannon is a totally different ballgame, apparently it can only be mounted on cruisers or battleships since its engines help out against the intense recoil. Thing is that the Nova Cannon is basically a giant railgun. I'll be designing something completely different for that one.Here's a question. When mounting a cannon on the prow, how do you plan on showing the difference between the Lance and your version of the Nova Cannon? Shorter barrel and wider bore?
I might play with that. Not fully sure yet since such a modular kit for 'just a frigate' would make the kit a bit risky (more that it might make the kit too expensive). But it's something I still need to ponder about and toy with.Its' hard to judge what would look good. When I first saw the cannon mounted in the center of the prow structure I thought of a unicorn. That's partially why it looks strange to me. Maybe if the mount was lower, not quite on the chin but close, it would give the impression of a rhino.
The lance itself would look good, that's not the problem. As seen with the Destroyer, it works. But compared next to the other lances it becomes a bit odd.If you believe that mounting the lance at the top of the prow doesn't look good I trust you.
