Capital Turrets (Avalon and Flare/Jack)

Aug 05, 2015 Faille Corvelle link
Too good not to have its own thread. These should happen. Maybe require a crafting mission/s.

The Avalon Turret.
It will allow Tridents to be anti-trident capable. Skill would still be required, to aim and time the Avs.

The Jackhammer Turret/Dual Flare Turret.
This is the "Area denial" flak version. Just try to get close to that docking bay! Skill in timing the rockets is still required to be effective.

Let the foruming commence.

I almost called it "The CS Avalon Turret" Spence, but if it happens the devs will call it what ever...

the CS turret MK1 would be an awesome name!

we would all know it meant the CrazySpence Turret but we'll just say "Captial Salvo Turret" to anyone who doesn't know....

I'm on board with that. I also submit the FC Turret MkI (Flare Cannon Turret" of course)...

+1 to the avalon turret

+1 to the jackhammer turret not being a capitol turret. I'd love to have jacks to shoot at someone chasing my moth.

-1 unless all ordinance capship weapons have limited ammo. You have stations to dock with to resupply.

+1 to rocket launcher turrets and to hell with the naysayers about ammo.
-1 to Avalons. There's not enough risk for the firepower in turret form.

Just try to get close to that docking bay!

Sure, no problem. The turret placement still sucks. That's not a reason to not make these turrets though. Put them on the NPC capships!

The trident is already an anti-trident vessel if you have 2 gunners. The Avalon turret might be fun anyway just because it's an Avalon. With the Avalon turret the trident is an anti-connie vessel.

The Avalon turret would be good against larger things and of less value against smaller things.

+1 to both. Could imagine doing some fun stuff with it.
