Ion Damage from Turrets

[Lucas Trask]

I think ion damage is one of the most fun mechanics in ES, but the sources for dealing it are currently limited to a somewhat large cannon and a small gun that can't be obtained without some rather difficult piracy. I'm certainly psyched for the new EMP torpedo in the next update, but I'm wondering if there are any plans for developing a turret that deals ion damage. Having such a turret would make ion loadouts that much more deadly. Are there plans to add such a weapon, or am I somehow unaware of an already existing one? (Quarg skylances and Drak Draining fields excluded of course)

The biggest issue is that ion can be really annoying, just ask any hai. Plus most special or extream attributes (like ion) tend to be resurved for either a faction or a special weapon to give them something extra. It is likely that there will be a ion turret of some kind at some point as most of the galexcy is empty right now.

Do I smell unfettered missions?
