Base turrets?

OK, when a base is damaged it's shields will no longer recharge. I think this implies that it's shields are then down or had been disabled. Perhaps if you base shields allowed them to be damaged by normal weapons like disruptors then as soon as the shields are down turrets stop working. Not too big a change because although shields can now be brought down easier, it's harder because of base turrets. Just a suggestion.

I think this is a good idea from a realistic view. But this game really isn't realistic . . . yet.

Besides the whole flying physics I don't see what isn't all that realistic. Unless your just referring to the fact that this is set in the future.

Yeah that's what I mean.

maybe we could make a small gun outpost, 2 to 3 turrets, on any rock with the same sheild as a tele or refinery (galvable). whadda think?

I think that putting turrets onto a base would require a major code change.

Perhaps having a 'Base Defense' cap ship? Have a few turrets on it, slow speed, no ripcord, heavy armor and shields, perhaps?

firstly, I used guardians once, I had a fricken line of them setup that created a no mans land!... in space... somehow. it took them cruisers to reach us. Noir thus hence forth got rid of their shields and made them cost a @#(! ton!

Gaurdians are hardly a viable tech for GT anymore. What I don't understand is why gunships cost $1 and guardians cost 1.5-2K that bastard. raise the $#@!ing gunship cost!

for my WIP core, I've made 'Mobile Turrets' that have the 'pilot' with the normal turret weapons, and two 'Gunners' with turret weapons as well. Low speed, booster, etc. Cost $1 each, so that everyone and their mom can't have one (Like gunships). I think I'm going to make a 'Base Defense' Capitol ship, with low speed, high armor, high shields, a few turret gunners, and possibly a high turn rate (Not so sure about the last). It would accomplish nearly the same thing, but without the massive code changes needed to put turrets on a base
