Hmmm... looks like I've been cheating then :crazy:
I have a Nomad gunboat, and I put Corsair BS turrets on it. (the default Nomad turrets suck, too low refire rate.) That went pretty good, but they just eat power too quick. So I put purple goddess/solarius turrets on.... sounds like your saying using p/g turret is a no-no?? solarius is ok i guess, since it eats power like a BS turret :D
Which brings me to next question: aside from the RP aspect, is there any advantage of BS turrets over fighter turrets? Except for the speed/range of course... are the beams bigger, do they do splash damage, or what? I mean, is the only reason they have such heavy power expendature is because they belong on a BS?
