What and were, the best turret, lvl9

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

thanks

that would be the Skyblaster B Turret from GMG in Sigma 13

spoiler forum would probably be your best bet.

Thats lvl 8 in gamma is pretty sweet, 808 shileld damage, then you can use better hull damage weapon.

i used to use the skyblast b, then switched to the salamanca turret. i got that one after doin a couple missions for the bounty hunters at freeport 9. it shoots slower than the sbb but, hey, i use a sala in the forward position, why not use the turret. also does more dmg than sbb. either one is really good.

I don't even mount a turret, cuz it screws up my targeting due to the different proj. speeds. I'm in an eagle anway, so I can't fire a turret forward, and I'm not too concerned w/shooting behind me cuz I can spin quick enough to dump 2 salamanca II's and 4 Nomads out on my target. That's a heck of a lot better than plinking away w/a turret

I'm pretty sure that the skyblast B's do more damage than the salamanca's, if only slightly...

I'm sick of seeing all your signatures and not having one of my own

Thanks

get a salamanca turret; MUCH better. Its actually better than a nomad cannon, damage wise.

Post Tue Sep 02, 2003 7:41 am

I want to try to match the turret projectile speed to my nomad cannons and torro del cids. Since I cant seem to find a turret with 600 projectile speed I thought I would go for the best one that is just under 600 as this would make the target reticle correct for the faster nomads etc which I obviously use most.

Am I correct in this assumption?

Post Tue Sep 02, 2003 9:56 am

Yes using different shot speeds will affect the aiming reticule. So only way to be sure is to try all and find what You are comfortable with. Not everyone uses the exact same setup comfortably.

But if you?re using the Sabre then you have to think about energy use. You put to powerful a Turret on your Sabre and you'll loose out when you need that extra energy for shield regen.

I'd look at the Sky Blast if you have twin Del Cids or the Adv Debilitator <- NY in munitions depot if using Salamanca or Skyblast cannons

turrets skyblast b does the most damage, salamanca matches the other usual guns better at reduced damage and the shield killer adv debilitator l8 is favoured by many
btw someone said the eagle turret doesnt fire forward ; it does but in a limited arc of fire

Post Tue Sep 02, 2003 10:57 pm

steel, i think salamanca does more damage. Im almost positive it does.
