<HardPoint Name="HP_JW_Cruiser_00">
<Type> HARD_POINT_WEAPON_LASER </Type>
<Is_Targetable>Yes</Is_Targetable>
<Is_Destroyable>Yes</Is_Destroyable>
<Health>100.0</Health>
<Damage_Type> Damage_Tartan_Cruiser </Damage_Type>
<Fire_Bone_A>MuzzleA_00</Fire_Bone_A>
<Fire_Bone_B>MuzzleA_00</Fire_Bone_B>
<Fire_Cone_Width>65.0</Fire_Cone_Width>
<Fire_Cone_Height>45.0</Fire_Cone_Height>
<Fire_Projectile_Type>Proj_Hypervelocity_Gun</Fire_Projectile_Type>
<Fire_Min_Recharge_Seconds>2.0</Fire_Min_Recharge_Seconds>
<Fire_Max_Recharge_Seconds>3.0</Fire_Max_Recharge_Seconds>
<Fire_Pulse_Count>5</Fire_Pulse_Count>
<Fire_Pulse_Delay_Seconds>0.2</Fire_Pulse_Delay_Seconds>
<Fire_Range_Distance>1000.0</Fire_Range_Distance>
<Fire_SFXEvent>Unit_Empire_Ship_Laser_Fire</Fire_SFXEvent>
<Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Fighter, 5.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
<Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Bomber, 4.5 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
<Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Transport, 1.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
<Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Corvette, 10.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
<Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Frigate, 70.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
<Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Capital, 30.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
<Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Super, 30.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
<Allow_Opportunity_Fire_When_Targeting>False</Allow_Opportunity_Fire_When_Targeting>
</HardPoint>

Then from the ships code:

<Hardpoints>
HP_JW_Cruiser_00, HP_JW_Cruiser_01, HP_JW_Cruiser_02, HP_JW_Cruiser_03, HP_JW_Cruiser_04
</Hardpoints>

Hope that helps...
