Description:

[Work in Progress!]

Adds turret versions of existing weapons to the game.

Turrets are slightly wider than hull mounted versions, but shorter, with the exception of Flak Turret.
This is due to size of turret heads, so they could rotate freely within range of building.
Actual turrets that shoot over the roof!
They require blueprints and blueprints require base guns – for balancing, mostly.

*** Currently in this mod: ***
– Disruptor Turret
– Small Blaster Turret
– Large Blaster Turret
– Medium Cannon Turret
– Large Cannon Turret
– Flak Battery Turret (also has a Standalone version)


Turret versions of other vanilla weapons:
* Point Defense Turrets (single and dual)can be found here
* Ion Beam Turret can be found here

Feel free to reupload if game version changes and I’m not around to fix them.

Notes:
This is a work in progress, and some refinements will be added in next few weeks 🙂
Turrets actually change gameplay a lot, make your ship easier to organize. Drawback being their wider sizes, but it is still worth it.
Due to how storage slots are organized, Large Cannon now has 4 instead of 3. Sorry, game does not allow to offset these x_X

// TODO:
Flak Turret
Add turret head to Flak Turret
Normal Maps for Large Cannon turret head
– clean up graphics, add doodads maybe?
point values to vanilla sources to make them always consistent with vanilla balancing
use vanilla sounds instead of including them in mod folder (doh!)
come up with decent idea for bullet loader for turrets didn’t really, but seems not needed here.
balance costs a little (seems unnecessary now)
– add missile turrets
– add Chaingun turret, ffs!
