I've always thought that when firing on raiders, the turrets are powered down, say to 1/8th full power, more then enough to splatter a Raider, but barely taking a chunck out of the laser capasiters.

When the battlestar (or any Colonial ship) enages a basestar, these guns power up to full and can do some damage to the basestar.

what do you guys think?
Yeah that does work... I like that thinking ..

I will be finishing my Large lasers soon and will work on the smaller ones...... soon as I find some really decent images
