Twin Maser Turret
When the maser design became the new mainstay of the fighter division and ship building firms began requesting the new technology in ever increasing volumes, the time came to extend this technology to the turret architecture, which has proved invluable in the past. Unfortunately, the originators of the approved maser system lost the bid, this project having gotten handed over to one of the larger development teams. While they were a heavy opponent against the Sweep Maser system, they had to admit their inspections with research copies could find no fault in it, and thus they took the simple approach: They completely severed the twin system and replaced the prefire components with ones that had a much larger performance envelope, thus providing the familiar feel of a two-barrel turret, and with the added power of microwave emissions.
