I'm putting this hear because I just talked to RIP about it in Discord, and then I thought "Hey, maybe people want to do this without looking for it on Google"
So some guy named "Forsaken Djinn" posted all THIS:

Ok, Bionic One sent me a message about it, just incase anyone else needs to know, this is how i got the proper mount on. The one that Holoxplor puts on, is broken, it sorta... combines the fixed mount and the manned turret, which i don't really understand. But here's how to get the actual mount on.
Ok, i'll do this, reluctantly. I don't know what your technical skill set is, so make this will be easy for you, or maybe it'll look like hieroglyphics, and i ain't into troubleshooting.
Start by removing everything from the S6 slot., i suggest using
https://holoxplor.space/
So remove the mount, and save the XML file. (don't use holoxplor to equip the fixed mount, it's kinda broken) and download and overwrite your old XML file. (make a backup somewhere else first)
Locate your XML file in
C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Public\USER\Database\
Open it in notepad++, if you don't have notepad ++ use normal notepad, or get notepad++
Before we get started, don't use my item IDs, as they are likely different, i'm just using mine as an example.
Search for
DRAK_Fixed_Mount_S4
Then get the ID (not the oemid)
id="008e2f01-0098-092e-0100-000000000000"
That happens to be mine, so we'll use it as an example.
Then search for the section where your Drak ship is
class="DefaultSpaceShips.DRAK.DRAK_Cutlass_Black"
And you'll see your inventory, with INVENTORY COUNT. at the top of the drak cutlass section.
locate the class 5 port in the port section, you don't need to change the port count.
port portName="hardpoint_class_5" __EID__itemId="008e2f01-0098-092e-0100-000000000000"/
And copypaste the drak fixed mount's ID into it. That's my flak ID yours is likely different.
the ID is the 008e2f01------ etc
Now above the port count, go back to the inventory section. Add a new line, with the mount's ID.
Mine looks like
item __EID__id="008e2f01-0098-092e-0100-000000000000"/
Make sure it has the arrows too, i just can't post them here.> < these
Then change the inventory count to +1 of it's normal.
if it's
inventory count="47"
change the 47 to 48
Save the XML, then on the holoxplor website, hit Delete your info, and then re-upload your xml file, you'll see you now have a new S4 port on your cutlass named DRAK_Fixed_Mount_S4 - Slot
You won't be able to remove the fixed mount from holoxplor, but you can ingame, so be careful, it's a pain.
Then you can either equip your revenant into the s4 mount. or leave it empty, the combine is broken and not even i can fix it, and i've mastered XML editing pretty much.
so go ahead and equip your revenant, and redownload the file.. Goto notepad++ and it'll ask if you want to reload the file since another program made changes. Press yes just once.
Now go into game, into a free flight drone sim, and test it out. If it works, congrats. If not, exit the game, and goto the xml file in notepad++, it'll ask if you want to reload the file after changes. Press NO, then upload your xml file somewhere, and i'll edit it for you, but i don't want to, so only do this if you have no other choices.
Note:
The combine, it won't accept it's ammo boxes.
Now i even FORCED the ammo boxes onto it, where the game registered it had boxes, but still doesn't work, the code for the boxes themselves is broken. probably a typo in the code or a missing ;
so i can't fix the combine. and trust me, i want to. I hate the revenant. The revenant is better than nothing. but barely so. the revenant was supposed to use 70mm ammo, but it uses like.. 30mm... so you can drop 100 rounds into a vanduul alpha or named and it'll keep going. So it's only worth using if you don't want someone in your gunner seat.

I have a little LOD issue that makes my 11 series look weird.
