    According to the Stock Blueprint described at https://empyriononline.com/threads/uch-titan-cruiser.91433/

    The UCH Titan was not fully equipped when it headed to the Andromeda Sector and probably could have handled the Zirax War fleet if it had been fully equipped. The post mentions it having marked spaces for Upgraded Armament, which it certainly has the CPU to place.

    I have Spawned it and attempted to find all the places weapons could be added without ruining the look of the Ship.

    If i recall correctly, standard block placement limits leaves room for quite a few more turrets and fixed weapons then it ships with, below i have a list of weapons that it comes with sorted by type of weapon and what i can recall of the block limits.

    Stock Titan comes with

    Projectile Turrets (Limit 12)
    6 Minigun
    2 Cannon

    Rocket Turrets (Limit 10)
    2 Flak
    4 Rocket

    Laser Turrets (Limit 10)
    1 Plasma
    0 Pulse Laser

    Artillery Turrets (Limit 2)
    0 Artillery

    And the Following Fixed Weapons and Tools

    4 Pulse Laser (Limit 6)
    1 Rocket Launcher (Limit 4)
    1 Drilling Laser (Limit 6)

    So far i have found the Hardened Steel Circles 1 between each of the vertically sorted Pulse Lasers and pulled them out and dug enough to add a Pulse Laser to each side. (Now at the Full Possible 6 Pulse Lasers)

    I have found the Two Marked Spaces on the back top(Stern) of the ship and I have used them to place 2 Artillery Turrets.

    The Front (Bow) of the ship has one Rocket Laucher on one side(I think its the Left Front or Port Bow) and One Drill Laser Opposite it (Right Front or Starboard Bow) It also has a collection of Antenna between the Rocket Laucher and Drilling Laser. So far i have considered removing the antenna to provide placements for Rocket Lauchers and to switch the Rocket Lauchers for Lasers then back of i decide to use the Titan for Asteriod Mining.

    Since my main concern is preparing it for War in the form of Station PoIs and Ships (Zirax initially but potentially Legacy if it works well on Zirax) my default would be for Rocket Lauchers unless people have better advice about where to place them.

    What i came to the forums to ask for help on is the intended (if any) or otherwise good places in which to add the 3 Rocket Lauchers and the rest of the possible Turrets.

    I would also appreciate suggestions on what kind of turrets to add in those cases where their are two types.

    I would ideally prefer it to be able to handle a mix of Space and Planet Combat.

    I have already upgraded the Polarized Hull Shield.
