I would like to use weapons with a ROF <1 per turn
Keeping mathermatical i would consider a formula of ROF expressed as a fraction adding 1 to the numerator and denominator.
Example: 1/2 turns becomes 2/3 or a multiplyer of 0.67
1/3 turns becomes 2/4 or a multiplier of 0.5
Thoughts?

I think it's reasonable, although I personally would only allow a 1/2 weapon... anything more than that and you're getting a bit cheesy.
Consider that under this system, a 1/4 weapon could be 4x as powerful for the same cost and space -- and if I can fire a bunch of them in turn 1, it's doubtful my enemy will be around to fire back during my "recharge" time...

Ummm...if I'm reading the original post correctly, a 1/4 weapon would be 2/5 the SU of a 1/1 weapon, not 1/4. Similarly, a 1/2 weapon would be 2/3 the SU of a standard gun. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Ironchicken seems to have allowed for the advantage of getting a strong early hit.

You could rule that these weapon systems are like the Anime Spinal Mount, in that they may not start the game charged. Thus a 1/4 weapon could not fire until round 4 at the earliest.

Rich, yes that is correct. I was compensating for that first shot. I only thought that 1/2 and 1/3 weapons were worth doing.... 1/4 or 1/5 you may as well buy expendables.

Well, that will teach me to read more carefully next time...
Yes, that would work fine.
