last night ,I activated my first maelstrom, and found that the size of 1400mm cannons compaired to the ship is too small.!!
The effect of volley of 1400mm cannons is a failed design, I think the smoke from gun tube should be huger .

I agree, the cannon to ship size ratio for the Maelstrom is a bit of a letdown. As for smoke, there's no oxygen in space... That we can even hear surrounding gunfire is simply a fictional perk. Still, the Maelstrom is a decent ship. If you're using it for Level 4 missions with AutoCannons though, you might want to look into the Projectile Ambit Extension and Projectile Locus Coordinator rigs since range can be an issue.

The ship is 1.6 Kilometers long.

Here is Little David (914 mm) 22m long.

Umm... muzzle flash and smoke is produced by the charge in the gun, no additional oxygen required... these aren't potato guns!Roll
