New Hardpoint & Weapon Mount Sizes | Star Citizen

Welcome to some more Star Citizen, I just wanted to go over the new System Star Citizen is using for Hardpoint Sizing & mounting of weapons as of the Drake Buccaneer Concept Sale:

Only some ships are using the new system at the moment and others need to be updated & refactored. Don’t look at a Size 5 mount and think you can mount 2 Size 4 weapons there just yet. The Buccaneer and SH are for sure and I would expect most of the smaller ships to already be on this system.

The New system actually really simple
A Weapon Hardpoint has a Size
You can have a fixed weapon upto the maximum size of the hardpoint

OR Reduce the Hardpoints Size by 1 for each modifier:
Gimbaled/Unmanned Turret = 1
Manned Turret = 1
Twin-Linked = 1
Size of the largest weapon you want to use = X (X is it’s Size)

So the Canard Turret on a Super Hornet is a Size 3 Mount
Size 1 Weapon = 1
Gimbaled = 1
Twin-Linked = 1
Total Size = 3
“Yes it houses 2 weapons BUT in the new Hardpoint system that is accounted for, you just have to add +1 for it being twin linked you don’t have to add the size of the weapon again”
So the mount is using 2 size 1 weapons.
