You can never have too many turrets, especially since big guns are extremely weak at close range (since they have difficulty turning to hit a target) If you ever do decide to fight the aliens, a lot of it is going to be very close quarters.

I can very easily add four more turrets to the Lion. The only thing that would still have more turrets would be the Stalingrad class Battleship, and the Alien dreadnought, both at 16 turrets.

Hmm... a Lion Cruiser with four big guns, ten turrets, and six systems... Not sure anything could survive that kind of firepower. Although equipping it would cost two arms and a leg.
