Turret Changes - Mega Mounts / Spinal Mounts


AvorionCraft

Suggestion

The most powerful weapons wind up being spinal mounted weapons, but spinal mounted weapons are difficult (if not impossible) for the AI controlled ships to utilize. Any time (even with the current news that AI controlled ships are better set to run spinal weaponry) I run with spinal mounts on AI ships they just float around like big dumb blimps that can't fire anything.

So the proposal is simple:

A special block that is Orgonite/Avorion specific that acts as a turret mount for a spinal weapon.

Alternatively, a way to convert a weapon at a turret factory into a turret:

  • Changes to weapon due to modifications of the conversion:
    • Increase the size of the turret by 1-2 
    • Increase the power requirements of the turret by 15-25%
    • Increase the slots of the turret by 1-2
    • Decrease the damage by 10-20%
    • Decrease the range by 10-20%
    • Increase the cooldown (decreases rate of fire) on the turret by 10-20%
    • Decrease the heat dispersion (chance of modification) up to 20%
  • Offers an opportunity to take spinal mount rail or lightning cannons that are generally useless half the time and make them super awesome regular turrets

While on that topic, a way to convert regular weapons into a spinal mount:

  • Changes to weapon due to modifications of the conversion:
    • Increase the size of the turret by 1-2
    • Increase the power requirements of the turret by 10-20%
    • Increase the slots of the turret by 1-2
    • Increase the damage by 30-50%
    • Decrease the cooldown on the turret by 10-20%
    • Increase the heat dispersion up to 20%
    • Increase the range up to 100%
  • Offers an opportunity to take regular turrets like chain guns or plasma cannons for instance and turn them into heavy hitting spinal cannons
