I'll have to go throught he rules a bit, i think. The Wraith is a Class 6, two center
sections. Therefore, if I remove my redundant broadside cannon I have 6, which includes
the 2 stern chasers. I defer to the GM, of course, but we can discuss it at the Fest.

I will attempt a new land speed record...

I just received communication from Steve about stern chasers. He had
them in an early version of the game, but they ended up just being a
hassle. So let's not deal with that, but if you don't want to re-build
your ship to add another broadside cannon, we can just count the
sternchasers as a single broadside cannon. Also no real need to remove
the redundant cannon (like I said before, we just need to destroy them
in pairs).
