I tried them out on my cruiser, but could detect no effect when using them.

Flak turrets are excellent. Essentially, they are somewhat like a razor(Do alot less damage, though), but the houses have them.
They are very hard to use.

Yep, flak turrets are very deadly when used right, but more often than not, if you're a house ship, you will end up killing the police and navy, both of whom get very angry with you.
It's best to use them in completely hostile situations, or when you're so good that you don't hit a single friendly (anyone ever accomplished this:P?).
Edit: Ended up changing having to revise this post about 6 times since it made absolutely no sense, and I'm not even sure why:rolleyes:

I'd mount a pair any day. You always will run into completely hostile situations.

Just think of them as non-homing, extremely slow missiles with an effective range of about 100m. Still they pack a punch and cant be denied.

They do home in a little, but slow. It also has an effective range of 1000m, not 100m. Goes pretty decent range.

This should be interpreted in that: You should not use against fast moving targets.

Unless you have around 8 of them.

Haha, the Hellbound. God, that thing was murderous. It killed Tank just with splash.

The Primary use I find for Flak Turrets is killing NPC CAp ship patrol groups. You hit the battleship with a few flak rounds, and the radius destroys all the turrets on all the ships in the Battlegroup. Pretty effective. Also, if you pair up one or two with some missle turrets, they become dealy agaisnt figthers as well. Fire a salvo into the approaching NPC patrol, the missiles will hit the ship and the radius from the missle will deonate the flak. Basically all the NPCs will die instantly. SOmetimes your loot will die as well unfortunatly.
