Is there a way to find turrets with independent targeting?

[Seva]

Should I just keep killing pirates and looking at equipment dock or am I missing something to find it easier?

The single best way... is to build them yourself at a factory. In the 2.0 update this will be a LOT easier as all turrets can be set to independent at will, without the 50% damage reduction.

hmm
not sure I understood how I can make them in the turret factory.
Shall I put one that I got that has independent target then create a bluesprint, then print multiple of them or is there a way to get any turret that I have and set them as independent? How?

Thank you

If I recall correctly maxing out one of the components makes them independent targeting.
Which is something you normally want to avoid in the current version for main weaponry due to the reduced damage penalty, so playing around with I think the amount of Targeting Cards or another component/good should make them "independent targeting".

Yep, if the turret can be made to independently target, there will be an optional ingredient at the bottom of the list "Targeting System" and usually putting 2 on a turret recipe will enable the Independent Targeting feature once it's built.

This is a different Trade Good from the Targeting Card which is the ingredient that makes launchers have the Seeker trait.

Targeting Cards feed into Targeting System Factories though, (and are one of the rarest Goods in my galaxy, ugh)

Both approaches work. you can 1. make a blueprint of a turret you have, so you can create more of it.
2. you can craft turrets with independent targeting straight from factory by maxing out independent targeting. If you do this - check out different factories shop around as they all have different stats. Some will be trash, some will be powerful. it's random.

Annnnd...with 2.0 you won't need to find them anymore.
