I believe it's the same as Aerodynamics in here. The weapons retract, and in theory, the ship should be much more efficient and aerodynamic. It would also make sense to have them retract as, like with anything sticking up from your ship, when travelling faster and faster, there is more force applied to said objects. If they allowed us to jump with our hardpoints deployed, I would imagine the sheer force of faster than light travel would literally rip the weapons off.
