The intent was to create a turret that the rankest newbie could easily afford and install without issues. Beefing up it's protection with much bigger shields and advanced armor would have taken it out of reach of the typical newbie, as well as increasing it's cost relative to it's effectiveness. Yes, maybe it could be greebled up with utterly superfluous colors and shapes. I personally actually do not like such and prefer clean lines.
It is literally as effective as a turret can possibly get for it's mass, without discarding it's hull cladding all together. In that respect, I protest your assertion that's it's performance is 'average'. For it's size and mass, it's performance is as good as it gets. It is literally impossible to get a turret of this mass to perform better than this while still having it self powered.
