Antu Agniparvata Too Large for Capital Ships

Antu Agniparvata is 433 size. This weapon is capital-ship only. Its large size represents a severe taxation upon hull space for gunners and/or FC slaves, which are often strained for hull space with "normal-sized" Capital Ship gear. Even if this weapon were half its current size, it would still be 66-1/2 hull space per-weapon larger than the Kalthi Fire - which is far more powerful and energy-efficient. Its jumping-heat-laser attribute might prove interesting for my gunner, if I could fit two of them on my Bana King ship and still have any room left over to scoop things. Given that the size of the weapon is 433, I cannot think of any scenario in which I would choose to use this weapon over a Fractured Kalthi Maul - which is readily available from an AI station for 5b creds, has the same firing range of 390, does splashing fire damage with a small vulnerability debuff, is slightly more elec-efficient, and is 202 hull size smaller than Antu Agniparvata. I have tested this weapon, and found it wanting. it is Tech 22. Its DPS is too low to make it compelling as anything more than a situational weapon for crowd control when swarmed with weak enemy ships/fighters. Its size prevents it from being a viable option even in that capacity. Fractured Kalthi Maul wins for utility, despite being a "junk item." ---My Suggestions--- 1. Reduce their size to be better in-line with roughly equivalent weapons. OR 2. Increase their dps/elec efficiency to make them worth the hull space sacrifice.
