Do turret work in solo

[vortex]

I've kitted out my python with beem turrets and railguns, not had time to test it yet, would like some info if they do work in solo or not, whot ever the case may be.

Works in solo,but I dont know about private mode! :)
Change mods and see for yourself!

Quite an odd question to ask after 900 hours in the game

some do some don't. as far as I know guardian and ax weapons don't work in turret mode without multicrew. they still work like fixed weapons if you are by yourself.

[the smoking mค็็็็็n]

yeah, they work, maybe not like you hope though

[Lyrdian]

yes they work, make sure to go to your functions tab and change themt o target/fireatwill rather than forward fire

[the smoking mค็็็็็n]

don't do fire at will the po-po shoot just as bad as everyone else+ they won't shoot till you get shot
and don't use any targeting other than highest threat once things kick off

[Fix]

I typically play in Private and yes, turrets work - Take note of the turret targeting options in the No.4 panel

If it were me I would have lasers turrets. Beam turrets will drain your distributor and heat you up quickly. Add rail guns into the mixture it's a recipe for death, either by heat or your opponent. I would put one beam on trigger fire one or two with the rails on one or two trigger fire and set the laser turrets on fire at will or target only. That way you can control your heat and power distribution with the trigger fire while your turrets pound your opponent relentlessly.

BTW: with that setup or yours everything must be engineered efficiently.

you can use beams, even large, on a python with eng PD, infact all guns can be beams if you want
they only fire in the arc that your sensors can do, so that will give you some idea how you want to eng them
i use 6A lightweight with focused burst large, pulse med, so the arc is small, but the range is super
then i fly like a WWII german nightfighter, great fun

Thanks commanders, very useful info.

i did the 5 gimbaled beams in my Python once it takes a charged enhanced dist and effecient 5 beams to do it with 4 pips to weapons and even then you run out after 10 seconds. but 5 long range pulse lasers would be very good in a Python. just snipe people at 7Km.
