Corellian Might image - Yuuzhan Vong at War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

That is the goal. We have tested ships with up to 60 turrets rotating.

Larger ships will internal weapon systems, such as missile launchers and AA lasers. Ion weaponry functions the same way. Light ion cannons will be internal weapon banks, but large heavy ion weapons will be a type of special weapon, employed by only a few ships. This is part of the plan to create a diversified fleet with ships that perform specific roles.

You are correct that ships will be balanced much differently than vanilla EAW. As we showcase more ships, the roles will become more apparent and the use of certain ships will be more easily understood. The player will be able to create a good number of ships for the mod, but in order to succeed, the fleets will need to be balanced. While ions can reduce shields and drain power from Dovin Basals, they will have no effect on hulls of Vong ships. Hutt ships however, will suffer an emp type effect. Mass drivers will punch right through shields but do less damage to armor as they do to Yorik Coral. Lasers will burn through armor faster than they do Yorik Coral, but will be absorbed by shields. This is part of the balance act we wish to create.
