Expected the ISD Freudian nightmare, that is arguably better though.

I wonder why most space battleships/star destroyer dont have a triple/double turret or two that as wide as the hull could support like the battleships of ww2, imagine the size of that gun one shoting everything.

But for the time being I can't afford it. Wife got hospitalized yesterday morning, though she's quite alright now. Bills are going to be absolutely brutal next month.
If I had 2 more dollars in my Steam wallet I'd buy it for you...
Unfortunately, I do not have 2 more dollars in my Steam wallet, and am unlikely to get any any time soon. ._.
Have you tried the demo on the factorio website?

A good number of the US Navy battlecruisers already get propelled sideways by firing the main guns off the port or starboard.

I was just going to say, real world battleships are often displaced visibly when firing more than one gun at a time. There's pictures of this about.
Naval ships usually mount triple guns for complexity and firing rate reasons, since the turret mechanism to rotate the gun for aiming is complex and heavy.
Turbolasers on the other hand would be a lot more energy intensive when firing, and fire at a much higher rate than projectile weapons do. Much of the advantage of a triple gun is lost, so the mechanism becomes smaller and lighter mounting a single turbolaser instead of a triple.
And now that I think about it, that's a glaring issue in Pirates of the Caribbean. When those ships fired a full broadside, there should have been visible displacement in the water beneath from the entire ship being shoved back by the blast.
RE: Avali Nexus Forum Thread: 4 Score and Several Threads Ago... - Surge - 04-28-2016
I'd like to point out that if memory serves most SDs use embedded single guns and double or quad turrets, usually for reloading reasons since turbolasers are often depicted as loading physical canisters for each shot.
