================================================================================================
Overview:
    The B1 configuration is, predictably at this point, Thumper artillery.  Not canons, straight
    up full sized artillery.  Which makes sense internally,  Thumpers are probably the second
    most common weapon on the ground for IPD forces.  And while this may be counter to most
    everyone else's doctrine, the Thumper is simply good at dealing with most hostile units it
    may encounter while also being fairly inexpensive.

Capabilities:
    A pair of Thumper Artillery is the primary armament for the B1 configuration.  Supported
    with 4 tons of ammo protected by CASE II it can provide continuous fire missions for over 6
    minutes before running dry.  A pair of ER Medium lasers provides a fig leaf of close range
    defense just in case.  The most interesting feature is the Drone Command Console.  This
    system allows the Barbette to spot for itself without endangering the spotter.  Or with the
    Help of a MultiPlexor, coordinate a drone swarm.
