First of all I'd like to congratulate the creators of Inferno for the huge effort that must have gone into this mod, however I have a few questions in the tech room it says that the GTVA Cyone has 4 gun ports but in the game in only appears to have 2 i've also noticed this with  a few other ships also will future releases of  inferno use the fs open and please add more shivan fighters more FS2.

It has 4 firing points in 2 banks since no ship can have more than 2 banks of primaries, so the 4 is accurate :)

We have 2 new Shivan fighters waiting to be used, one more stronger than the Gorgon.

The Cyone also has one bank on the left and one bank on the right. When you're using two weapons with different fire rates, you can't hit jack ****. The Cyone blows.

I never had a problem. Just takes a bit of practice.

The Cyone is supposed to suck, as there are far better ships later on.

Cue for the arrival of the Erinyes MkII :D!!!

The Cyone sucks because of its gun mountings? Well, that was why it was given a motherload of missiles. :)

There are far nastier machines to come. Notably the Alves, Daedalus and the Keres - and that's just for the Terrans...

Let me guess.  They must be Venom's Harpy and the Succubus...  [Attempted Suicides never got them... :(]

But if not, then please specify and post some model screenies! :D

Yeah, I don't think one could accidentally design a ship to suck so much. I always chose the Vesuvius over the Cyone.

Isn't the Chimera a more dangerous foe than the Gorgon?

Also, I know that the Vindhyachal isn't a fighter, but it wasn't used and it's a monstrous opponent. Maybe you meant a fighter and a bomber.

Not really, the Gorgon is far tougher to destroy, and has superior weapons, the Chimera just has to be tracked manually.

 
I actually kinda like the Cyone.  It's fairly fast and carries tons of missiles to boot.  Just take out two Subachs and use missiles to finish enemies off, especially since the Arrow rocks so much.
