The ships have guns on them, but they are never used, plus the ships cannot be flown manually and only have the animation when jumping planet to planet. Why do the ships have guns that are not used, lets make use of that aspect and have a big ship battle either with enemy ships like at the beginning of the dreadnaught where the battle is retold in the video and the queen sent out the energy balls at the ships "weapon" on the side of it and the small ships were being shot down, or with other players. Just dsiable level advantages and you get a heavy gun, a primary and special. Most ships I have seen have a big cannon type gun and 2 smaller ones.
