I was. Mostly built-in large though. Since, as you said, it would be a problem for fighters. Though I figured if it was mounted on a capital ship designed to house such a weapon, the issue would be less apparent. I mean, yeah, you will still have the nasty-powerful weapon that's rather accurate, but that's a problem you face when charging an Onslaught head-on.

Well, okay, the Onslaught has more than one gun, but the effect is much the same, I think

Is anyone else having the problem that Heavy Burst Lasers are not for sale on any station? (And particularly not at Corporate HQ)

Heavy Bursts aren't a guaranteed item to be delivered for any of the supply fleets. Like many items, it's completely random when and where you'll find one at a station.

The only ships that equip Heavy bursts by default are the Conquest and one variant of the Vigilance. The Conquest rarely spawns in independent fleets, and I'm not sure what the spawn rate of Vigilances are. Your best bet is to be patient and visit the various stations after supply fleets arrive, or modify the data files to add heavy burst pd to the delivery tables.

Found a typo in the mission description for Random Battle - "Helm the a capital ship..."

Loving the BUILT_IN weapons addition as well as terminator drones (though these are OP IMHO).

I assume that built_in weapons are never get 'sabotaged/destroyed' and ships will retain them in any circumstances when salvaged?

Ah, gotcha. We'll see - what built-in weapons end up on what is largely in David's hands :)

Thank you - fixed that up.

Probably are, enjoy them for now :)

Correct. No way to get them off the ship or onto another ship, short of possible bugs.

Is is possible to disable a built-in weapon in battle with enough damage/EMP?

Same as other weapons: no if hidden, yes if turret/hardpoint. So for the Onslaught's TPCs, yes.

Can there be an 'Indestructible' parameter for weapons and engines for modding purposes?
