Improvement to Fixed position turrets

[GrimJahk]

One of the things that I have observed here in the suggestions forum ties around customizing turrets. Size, aesthetics, etc.

 

What if...

 

I'm stretching this a bit here...

 

 

What if the fixed position turret block had a performance benefit... an inherent bonus for mounting a turret to it... since the turret no longer needs the guidance/aiming, or the resources to manage it (like aiming), they should be adjusted appropriately

 

If mounted FixedPosition (size +2, DPS +20%, Range +20%, operators -1)  <--- or similar

 

This would be beneficial to unarmed turrets as well.

 

 

Thoughts?

I agree with you 100%,

 

this would make the seeking launchers really good too (cause you know you don't really need to aim them)

I like this suggestion, and had been wondering why the rotation-locker didn't allready do this.

 

If it was only ever intended for seeker launchers, then it shouldn't be available at all material levels (as the launcher weapons don't begin appearing untill well into Xanion, unless you find a lucky turret factory)

I've always wondered about how the fixed mounts could be effective, this idea would really benefit them and actually give a truly good reason to use them.

I'd imagine something like each turret type gets a specific bonus could be neat, eg:

+range on lasers

+RoF on chainguns

 

Not necessarily those exact changes, but something along those lines.
