-Nuclear shaped charge to create a frational-C heavy metal plasma. You'd need something like a kilotesla magnetic field to contain it, but that should be easy with
Expendable mirror array to bend the pre-bloom laser into the proper path. When the gun reloads, the mirror is replaced. The laser engine itself can be further back into the ship, possibly offset from the gun itself.

The only thing I can't quite figure out is how to manage a prebloom laser. Can't fire something like that accurately in atmo without one.-
Look at BOLO Hellbores?
Technically its a plane, or airship, for Gremlins. But yeah that is also a good question.
Technically speaking that's not actually the command center. It's just where I put the entrance, given my Dungeon Psychological Constraints. My core is actually in the escape pod, between the main engines.
Internal considerations; I needed enough room for things like a moderately effective murder-maze, the suspension tanks for my Gremlins, engineering labs and other such things. And all of those weapons have a fairly significant internal back-end.
I'll list it in order by weapon system
... I must have missed something, what are these?
Basically, they conjure matter with the 'physical property' of having an awful lot of linear momentum in the direction the gun is pointing. Good old Newton still has a say in the matter, producing massive recoil.
What's the mechanical logic behind this?
Because the author says so, that's why.
Actually, I'd almost expect guns like those to be built with the open end on the opposite side of the recoil mechanism. Because they will still need some form of stabilization, and unless you can spawn complicated things like fins, that means it's going to need to engage the rifling on a conventional barrel. Which means friction, which means that the barrel is going to get dragged forwards, probably pretty hard. Which would mean that while it technically wouldn't be recoil, it would still be a force that needs to be dealt with via heavy machinery.
The obvious solution to such a recoil issue, is moar dakka: IE: fire shots backwards at the same time to cancel it out.
I could have sworn the design length was only 300 meters. There's even a person for scale in the picture!
I don't see the person to scale. However, I wouldn't be surprised by the ~300 meters length.
On the deck, just before the frontmost turret.
