Expanse like weapons?

I know there are various armory sets for making battleships and tanks and such. I was wondering what set or sets might best enable me to create the weapon systems from the show and books of the expanse?

Personally, I think BDArmory would take care of everything but the rail guns, but it's a big family of mods, BDA (and I've only used the original.) You might want to try several of them out and see what you find most fitting to the style in question.

If it doesn't have to look exactly like in The Expanse, you'll probably be fine with the current BDAc:
"PDCs" could be replicated with any pop-out turrets with half-spherical coverage or better turret traverse.
Missiles and torpedoes might require a custom firing tube to suit the ship, but might not behave as well as you'd expect when fired in space.

The railguns are beyond me; I've never seen or sought them out. I'd settle for some high-powered cannonry attached to the hull. Technically, it's still a kinetic impactor... it just wouldn't have comparable velocity to a rail gun. High-explosives might help equate to the damage done by a rail gun, however, only a much lesser penetrative force against targets.

I finished season 3 of the show just moments ago and I'm inspired to build ships of similar style as well. Please do post some pics later of your work and @me. I'd love to see what you come up with! :ph34r:

Thank you for the tips. Unfortunately im not much of a builder, aesthetically speaking. I mostly just wanted it for the feel that combat in the expanse gives. If i come up with anything really good i will post them.
