Very decent turret! System-wise it is good, with full coverage and practical systems. The armouring is good but it is very weak from fire behind. The armouring is quite good, however it looks strange from the side with exposed parts and strange shapes.
This particular turret is one of my older ones, just updated a little.
The exposed systems were acceptable when you factor that the turret AI will always be facing a singular threat, Back when it was a TD's gun, this was acceptable.
Im a believer that if shields are dropped and your turrets are getting chewed up, there is nothing that can save them short of a Jump out, or overheating the enemy vessel(s). Considering this turret is NOT self sufficient Id much rather it get ejected from the ship's docks rather than draining power from the reactor system that is now losing integrity.
Generally when I build things for myself to go and kill things they are shield tanks to protect the sheer quantity of turrets I end up using. Most my stuff is built for Survival mode because holy hell Advanced Armour is really annoying to come by in quantities, and doesnt really do much to ships with good guns,
