How To Add Ion Turrets To HW2 Remastered Destroyers?

Greetings All:

I'm having issues trying to replace the top & bottom kinetic burst cannon turrets on HW2 destroyers with ion turrets. Here's what I've attempted thus far:

1. Created a new .wepn file called "hgn_destroyerturretedioncannon" based off the hgn_battlecruiserturretedioncannon.wepn file.

2. Changed lines 152 and 155 in the hgn_destroyer.ship file to include the aforementioned ion cannon. See following example:

NewShipType,"Weapon_TurretTop","Hardpoint_TurretTop","Weapon","Innate","Ship","Hgn_KineticBurstCannonDestroyer","","","","","","","","");

Changed to this:

NewShipType,"Weapon_TurretTop","Hardpoint_TurretTop","Weapon","Innate","Ship","Hgn_DestroyerTurretedIonCannon","","","","","","","","");

Unfortunately, the game promptly crashes with the aforementioned changes. Hoping someone can point out what I'm doing incorrectly. Many thanks in advance!
