The Main gun will always stay on target unless otherwise changed by the Commander, while computing wind, weather and other factors that may change a shot. The system is also outfitted with an advanced Periscope for optimum view of the battlefield, and the Advanced Laser Rangefinder, which utilizes a laser rangefinder with a triple layer screen and crystals at different angles to scatter any enemy lasers that are attempting to disable the rangefinder.

Ok: Hull mounted MG? Easy pickings for an NS style FCS.

Hydrogen Assist: No-no. You'd have to keep the stuff compressed until it's really, really hot and really vunerable to damage.
