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!

Salamanca turret, 700 speed/range, 4.0 refire, 489 hull/244 shield, 97 power per shot (1956 hull damage/sec @ 5.04 pts damage per unit of power drain)

Skyblast B turret, 700 speed/range, 8.33 refire, 244 hull/122 shield, 61 power per shot (2032.52 hull damage/sec @ 4 pts damage per unit of power drain)

Skyblast does a little more damage but its efficiency is only .8 of the Salamanca.

Pulse turrets: Adv. Debilitator if you're a good guy, Rapier from Tripoli Shipyard if you've pissed all the lawful factions off.

Ever get the feeling... you're standing on plastic?

basically there are 2 ways of measuring damage
per shot and per second the latter is the truer way
there is a third factor range as if you can start hitting a target earlier it effectively increases the output of your weps as you have more opportunity to fire
power drain offsets this a bit as you can only fire when you have power but as normally the loadout on l10 ships contains nomad guns you effectively dont have to worry about this when you attain this level
one other is ease of getting the gun as the gmg are very generous and drop thier guns like confetti it also has this going for it

On all ships Falcon and up where the turret doesn't fire forward: Adv. Debilitator

If you're only firing one gun to the rear, (v key), better make it a Pulse gun so that Ripper mine will rip HULL.

All of my nomad and codename weapons fire at 600 m/s... is there a turret that has the same shot speed? If so, where can I git it?

Yes, absolutely everything I post, including this, is spam.

No turrets shoot at 600 projectile speed.
