We, the systems administration staff, apologize for this unexpected outage of the boards. We have resolved the root cause of the problem and there should be no further disruptions.
Or More accurately, treat the bay as a battery of turrets of the same type - so a 50 ton fusion bay at tl12 is a 7 factor fusion battery.
This gives it a +7 BAB.
it would take 16 Fusion guns mounted individually to form the same battery with a higher cost, EP drain and shorter range. The Fusion guns would take less interior space however the bay improves better with tech than the turrets do.
On the whole - if you are big enough to have a bay, you can afford the interior space and aren;t likely to be using it against swarms of fighters, then a bay is a more effective option.
I think of bays as a collection of lots of small weapons - firing as a group
At least that's my interpretation - I expect to be proven wrong, but I figure that an answer that works is better if you need a quick answer.
