Reviews and Balance Issues: Red Hardpoint Modules

My favorite weapon/strategy is Ion Cannon Mk II in as many slots as I can fill. one of each upgrade type initially, but hull and shield damage to max. I use strictly Valiant with lasers on four corners and front and 6 shield boosters. I have been using bolter fighters in all six fighter bays. They regen fast and upgrade cheaply. The (Celestial) Ion Cannons have good range and can stop a capital ship in its tracks while creating an effective missile shield.
