Is the weapon the Terran equivalent of the cluster flak and flak arty? To help in taking out fighters?

Yep, Terran equal to Flak Artillery Array. Does a very good job at munching fighters. Although in many cases the ships that can mount this weapon are immune to fighters already.

true but, dont want fighters being pests against freighters or my ship

probably mount an M7 with them and some on a future M2

They do more damage than FAAs but have slightly slower projectile speed and AoE effect I believe.
They are basically the standard fitting for any slot that cant take PSPs on heavy terran ships.

Slightly, but still significantly powerful. A very good weapon on the Springblossom as well. I consider them fighter snipers.

I actually find the SSC to be a little more accurate than the FAA for some reason. Possibly a larger bullet size or something. But either way, fighters evaporate more quickly when I use the SSC. An awesome weapon, though I find the CFA more fun to use.
