The battlecruiser also carries four turrets of smaller [[Imperator-20]] autocannons and six tubes firing [[Barracuda]] missiles. The designers used only non–energy weapons so the ship could mount a smaller and lighter power system. The main drawback to this choice of weapons is that the ship must devote interior space to carrying ammunition and the need for regular ammo shipments to avoid the risk of ammo exhaustion in prolonged engagements. + The most controversial aspect of the ''Black Lion'' is its choice of weapons.
