Patch When? Discovery 5.2 Edition: Blog #2

[Haste]

The Desolators seem at a glance to be pretty different in use case from the rest of cruiser defense turrets, is that intended and will there be other turrets in that class similar to them?

It's obviously impossible to tell from an image, but Desolators are very much a defensive weapon. While they turn very quickly and can theoretically be used against a ship in front of you, their top speed is 140, meaning they're very unimpressive when used that way. Most of the ships in the mod will simply outrun them if they're moving away from them, and even if they catch up to you you'll have plenty of time to shoot them down. If someone is chasing you, however, they're really quite hard to avoid or shoot down in time.
