Starship Weaponry

Something that I have not seen mentioned about ship's weapons is that it is almost imperative that they be aimed independently from the attitude of the ship.

A weapon that it fixed to the axis of the ship can only fire where the ship is pointed, and that means you may not be able to maneuver the way you need to in a fight. It would be a definite constraint to have to choose between thrusting to avoid a hit and aiming the gun.
