Top Three Best/Favorite Turrets?

I'll go first. Try to follow the format. If mods affected your selections, note it. Mine are Vanilla.

I.
Coaxial Launcher (exceptional Trinium)
Tech: 52
DPS: 3,399.3
Damage: 13,344.2
Fire Rate: 0.5
Range: 32.75
Damage Type: Physical
Notable Special(s): Seeker Shots
Sell Value: $2,773,632

Note: I have many turrets that do way more DPS/Damage but the convenience factor of a super long range seeker-shot launcher that does respectable damage can't be overstated.

II.
Coaxial Lightning (exotic Xanion)
Tech: 52
DPS: 17,567.3
Damage: 32,096.5
Fire Rate: 0.5
Range: 18.61
Notable Special(s): 17% Less Energy Consumption
Sell Value: $4,249,396

III.
SLV-SW Pulsing Recycler P-500 (Legendary Avorion)
Tech: 48
DPS: 20,621.7
Efficiency: 17.1
Range: 3.71
Sell Value: $7,512,788

Note: I have a few of these around this DPS level. Great to have on a short-range Coaxial Tesla ship for Hull HP deletion

I see no one's interested in a pissing contest XD Too bad! It's always fun to compare progress and achievement.

Yeah. Avorion is basically a space ARPG where it's all about the random loot drops. And since they random it's just a who rolled better status.

I original thought this thread would be about turret types like Railguns vs Cannons and such on which type you prefer. That said Coaxial anything goes in the trash for for me. Doesn't matter their stats it's to much of a pain to aim them cause they fire straight from where ever they are mounted. So if you put one on the left and right sides of a ship facing forwards odds are you'll shoot past the target on both sides if pointing straight at them. If your trying to do a spinal mount style ship they can work but their usefulness is so small it's not worth it.

I dont actually remember if these were the best ones I'd found that game, but I do remember having 6 of them made basically everything die in about 10 seconds- and 90% of that was just flight time for the missiles.

Edit- Should note too, you'll see those are spec'd for pretty much endless fire- the raw DPS could have been something like 6x higher with crap overheat stats.

I.
Pulse Turret (legendary Naonite)
Tech: 37
DPS: 5,268.3
Damage: 429.9
Fire Rate: 21
Range: 6.25
Damage Type: Physical
Notable Special(s): 97% chance of penetrating shields
Sell Value: $1,972,548

Note: This was my main Xanion belt gun and has become obsolete since I entered the core. But I still remember fondly how it felt to see pirate hulls rapidly melt out from under their shields, and I still use this turret to diversify some of my ships against enemy resistance upgrades.

II.
Lightning Turret (exceptional Ogonite)
Tech: 48
DPS: 24,826.3
Damage: 34,762.9
Fire Rate: 0.7
Range: 18.34
Notable Special(s): 40% Less Energy Consumption
Sell Value: $12,822,533

Note: These are 2-slot, so I can pack them on my ships in quantity. I am the god of destruction.

III.
Coaxial Launcher (rare Avorion)
Tech: 51
DPS: 10,181.4
Damage: 11,207.6
Fire Rate: 0.9
Range: 28.97
Notable Special(s): Seeker Shots
Sell Value: $6,782,837

Note: Never went for launchers much before I found this. I still mostly don't, but I've thrown these (and similar) on a couple stations I spend a lot of time on. It's oddly satisfying to lob shots from afar to provide minor assistance to my ships while they do the dirty work.
