I browsed down the posts and came across the "LSPS-1802."

Question: Why isn't the forward turret mounted so that it can fire directly aft without changing the orientation of the vessel? It seems like it would be easy to put it on the lowest or highest point of the bridge module and thus give it a shot backwards. As it stands - unless I'm missing something - this ship can't run away from pursuer without having to change vector every time it wants to shoot back.
