So, If I build a turret on a ship that is faster, or has better base fire control, will the weapon still only track with the turret speed, or is it "the fastest" in this case?
Damn, so I can't prebuild weapon sets of several weapons without any tracking gear.It would have made for awesome RP.
Sigh.No, what I meant is actually building multi-barreled weapons just for fluff and "economic reasons".I mean, why would anyone build turrets with multiple weapons?Do the HTK of the used weapons atleast combine?So far, I've found it more useful to build single or dual turrets, to get no fractions.4 weapons are always just fluff.
A quad turret takes up less space per gun than 4 single turrets with the same technology.
You can actually build a turret with a tracking gear of 0, and multiple weapons on it. If the ship's speed is faster than the turret tracking speed, it just uses the ship's speed, just like it would for a non-turret mounted weapon.
Quote from: "Morrigi"A quad turret takes up less space per gun than 4 single turrets with the same technology.This is only true if you put armour on the turrets; otherwise there is no difference, except in terms of how the components get damaged (Four 1 HTK vs one 4 HTK).
