Turrets on ships?

[Rurouni]

Has anyone noticed if there are turrets available to be mounted onto ships? I would prefer more options for ship to ship combat :)

I don't know about turret on ship, but I only can find main weapon/secondary weapon, but no turret for ship so far, we had to wait and see, because I don't see any where turret other than main/secondary gun video from 45 min showing. There will be turret but that might for mostly ground combat, more likely, similar to Fallout 4 settlement maybe? But ship? No idea.

Turrets could certainly be handy. I imagine turning to face enemies, while using front facing weapons could be rough with a large ship. Unless large ships have systems that let them turn on a dime.

I watched so many deep dive vids and saw most of the interviews and twitters, but hard pressed to remember where but swore I saw mention of turrets. It was just basically listing ship weapon types and a turret was part of it, but whether they are just gimballed guns or crew managed couldn't say.

If there are no turrets then space battles will be about designing a ship that can outurn the other to get on the tail or side, or one with superior speed to do hit and runs.

Let’s see if they will be in the game. If it isn’t it’s probably something that could come with a future feature patch I guess.

From what I've been reading yes there are definitely turrets.

They come in Balistic, Laser and Partical types. For example the Longsword has all three, lasers mounted in front and what looks like partical on the sides. Then Dragonfire II has partical and balistic.

So yeah I think we're good.

I would love turrets like on the ships from The Expanse or fighter cockpits like from Millennium Falcon, something I can have crew man. Would also love to be able to lose crew mates if my ship is damaged/destroyed.

There are turrets.

Turrets + crew controlling them is pretty much the only way you can safely board enemy vessels during combat without getting blown up.

Where did u find that? And I guess I am thick but not sure what that exactly means, unless they are talking about trying to cap in middle of other enemies present.

Don't know if we'll be getting any turrets crew can enter from the inside similar to the Millennium Falcon, but I am certain we'll at least be getting gimbal turrets which aim themselves at enemy spaceships.

Thanks Tenoshii. Is this from what you have seen because I haven’t noticed this detail anywhere so far.

Awesome if there are turrets opens a lot of options for tactical space combat.

that might or might not turret, it's look like turret, but there is many type of weapon that player choice while shooting on main guy, we had to wait and see, I don't think there is many type weapon in one gun.

[Rurouni]

Thanks Ezeris. Those look like front weapons with a gimbal for extra off angle shots though.

I was trying to look closely at the live action trailer but still can’t determine exactly if there are any full fledged turrets (e.g rear shooting turret). Guess we will see when the game launches soon :)

Sure, and yeah, it's hard to tell. To me it looks like it could possibly be a laser guided weapon of some sort.

Well not sure if any confirmation or not but the live trailer showed crew manning stations, looked like those side chairs from direct frontier ship.
