I dont think this will help the deal anyhow.
For null-space, this weapon is "special" and should not have counter. The real "counter" is smart use of their low fire rate, medium range and medium damage.

As for a BaseShip you described, i dont see the problem with it. By the same time the enemy builds this thing you will have more than enough attack ships to kill it.
YOur ships have greater speed and LCs or even DSs could kill it with losses of like 4-6

Talisman is a little powerful thing too, but i like the idea. except people abuse it a little bit.
