Awesome ship man..... LOVE the secondary/tertiary cannons on the superstructure.

And Narf, ever seen footage of WWII battleships? Those babies had to fire upwards for a ballistic trajectory for the shell to avoid having it plunge into the water after 200 meters. I think that it would look something like that when these ships start firing - only to make an energy beam arc towards a target and not shoot straight, I think you would need to use the gravitational generators on top to create a directed gravitational curve-field that would "pull" the beam into a ballistic trajectory.

On the other hand, they could just fire the inner cannons broadside and the outer cannons in line, or fly lower than the rest of the ships.
