Zoners don't want conflicts with other factions to keep their 'Neutrality' the way it currently is.
And I could never find a reason why would they allow Pirates (Who just fly around cause trouble) use their Guns... Specially GB ones.
Freelancers are usually those who just fly around and explore, and usually not causing trouble for anyone.
Mercs, on the other hand... Well, Thats another story, much like the one for Pirate ID. But I think changing Zoner Cell to White for Mercs would cause so much Q_Q that the forums will sink.
Every faction bare Gaians that has a gunboat also has own turrets. So if those factions sell their GB to someone, they'll most likely also sell it with turrets no?
There aren't many "generic" GBs, maybe, just maybe the Kusari Explorer is... yet since it's "kusari" explorer it should probably come with kusari gb turrets?
==================
As to the zoner gb turrets stats, they are a left-over coming from the time when Zoner GB only had four turrets.

' Wrote:I think its unfair pirates get to use explorer gunboats and zoner weapons. Anyone else? So their a independent pirate why dont they get to use basic turrets then. They get to have freelancer IFF, and thats okay too. This is a joke.
Zoner weapons are sold on the black market, at least the info cards say so.
Anyhow, purple on the tech chart. It's made to be abused, so go ahead, fly an uber explorer / zoney armed gunboat
