Carronades are the closest representation to cannons/artillery Aurora has. Large amounts of damage at low tech and, comparatively, low range. With some minor modifications from Steve they would be able to recreate the feel and style of battleship large caliber guns without changing game balance. Allow a carronade to be fit to a turret and to set the caliber/range/accuracy ratio and lots of fun could be had in close quarters ship battles.
He's not exactly bring perfectly clear about it, but he means he wants, say, extra slow but still possible 35cm weapons at TL2, rather than Plasma Carronades which you cannot quite simply make as large as you want. There's a limit based on your tech that you can't make them bigger than. He wants that removed, essentially.
