Component:c53-cannon
In Game Description
The C53 is a fixed version of the Alliance's 250mm Mk64 cannon. Despite its fixed mounting, its smaller caliber and light construction allows it to feature a generous range of motion to help catch fast-moving enemy ships. This weapon occupies an ideal middle-ground, able to damage lighter enemy ships without punching straight through but also able to inflict damage on the Alliance's heavier warships without the need to soften them up first.

Alright, here's the specs for the C53 and C56 rework. We managed to up the caliber without requiring a major overhaul of the breech and still keeping roughly the same cost in barrel materials, this should hit much harder. I'd like to meet whoever came up with the recoil compensation on this, by the way, because it's incredibly clever and really cuts down on the realignment time after running some shells through it. We didn't make any changes to the block breech either, so this should be clean and efficient, I know how you like it.
Like before, we'll meet near the usual spot. I refuse to have the Sevens involved in this face-to-face, so you're gonna have to meet on my terms. You get what you pay for.
