shock ray won't work basically because aiming at crosshair you will hit nothing. Shock ray turret will only be able to keep up with fighters at around 500+m and that's too much to hit anything. First I tought it's an anti GB and anti Cruiser weapon but I found out that the DPS is way too low to outmatch the spray and pray of the seccondaries.
Anyway, now that we can test stuff I will test the shock rays on the liberty siege cruisers and other fast turning ships that you dont need to TS and have a very good turret placement. On the GRN cruiser you will NEVER be able to use mortars/shock rays properly because the heavy turret mounts are way off the center of the ship with crap arcs.
