I wanted to up-gun the military ships in a "small ship" MTU, here's what I came up with.
TL10+ heavy turret - costs 2 MCr, requires 2 tons of interior volume for fire control etc. It contains 8 mounting slots:
missile rack/sandcaster - 1 slot
pulse/beam laser - 1 slot per weapon
plasma/fusion gun - 4 slots per weapon
TL16 PAW - 7.5 slots
TL18 PAW - 3 slots
TL18 meson gun - 7.5 slots
TL18 disintegrator - 4 slots
TL14+ barbette - costs 4 MCr, requires 5 tons of interior volume for fire control etc. The barbette can only be mounted on ships that have armoured hulls. It contains 15 mounting slots. It may mount any of the weapons above, plus:
TL14 PAW - 15 slots
TL16 meson gun - 15 slots
TL17 disintegrator - 15 slots
TL15+ light barbette - costs 3 MCr, requires 3 tons of interior volume for fire control etc. The barbette can only be mounted on ships that have armoured hulls. It contains 10 mounting slots. It may mount any of the weapons above, plus:
TL15 PAW - 10 slots
TL17 meson gun - 10 slots
YMMV
