You could just fire a double-burst of any one bank (ie 16 hornets or 4 Harpoons), so that the cross-weapon lock time thingy doesn't matter at all. I think it would just help the "gunship" side of things (these massive player ships that people are making), 'cos they're fundamentally limited by only being able to fire (eg) one pair of tempests at a time - a contemporary helicopter gunship (apache / tiger / hind etc) can fire a whole bank of rockets off at once, so why can't a bleeding-edge futuristic space combat craft do the same? Of course, there'd have to be setbacks - double re-arm time between shots for seeking weapons, and very rapid ammo drain for dumbfire ones.
