About the PR

Updated Comet weapons to be more appropriate to a medium Expedition vessel. Rear-mount Cyrexa cannons replaced with Fang autocannons. To bolster its survivability/deterrence factor, the L85s mounted on either side are replaced with Draupnir RAC-30s. This still fits within its existing Medium gunnery computer.
Also rotated the bluespace drive to be facing the right way 'round.

Why / Balance

Comet's armament is meant to be primarily suppression and deterrence, not a long-range sniper.

i dont think it needs the draupnirs tbh but the fang change seems sane

I mean, there's massive power creep in every thing else, so why not just a little update bump? They're side-arcs, too, not able to concentrate to the rear. Absolute best you're gonna get is both fangs, an L85, one draup, and one AK570, and that's in a very narrow band at roughly bearing 130-135 or so.

Besides: I can't think of a ship weapon that says "Suppression and Deterrence" better than a draupnir.

What about the new Dravon preloaded with flak?

Ran some tests with that, wasn't terribly impressed. Maybe in a future update or if the draups are just too much for approval.

I personally feel like there needs to be a custom cone shaped AOE to guarantee at least one hit
