Yesterday I went a little crazy and decided to overhaul all the turrets. I figured that since I am trying to get them in game, I might as well make them look good. To that effect I totally rebuilt all the turrets; models, animations, effects, types etc. I also added turret mountpoints to a number of the larger craft that can be bought, or hired. The cool thing about these is that nothing will start out with turrets or mount them normally. Players will be able to invest hard earned cash into turrets for their wingmen ships, such as freighters or fuel tankers, or even for their own ship, should they have acquired a rare destroyer as their own ship. All the turrets can actually be visually mounted onto capable ships via the new loadout system.
Here is a little video depicting some of the new turrets in action on a larger freighter:
Very nice. :)
