The (Civillian) Advanced Debilitator level 8 pulse turret is about as good as it gets for sheild killing. It's got 700m range, 700m/s speed, 4 refire rate, 795 sheild damage, 23 hull damage, and 47 power used. Theres also a Corsair version called the Rapier Turret. The numbers could be wrong, though, because the strategy guide I'm reading from is full of errors.

Afaik there is an even better one than the Rapier called the "Tizona del cid" I believe which has a slow refire rate of 2.00 but it does well over 1200 in damage to shields.You gotta have the best rep with them though.

Run a few missions against the IMG from hessian/outcast/zoner bases and get yourself a skyblast B rear turret, best one going imo.
The tizona del cid is mountable as a lvl9 gun/missile which means it only shoots forwards. The lvl9 salamanca rear turret is pitiful imo.

The strategy guide is full of errors because it hasn't been updated since one of the earlier betas ( 1131 I believe ), but yes, the Debilitator turret is the best you're going to get for a turreted pulse weapon. The Rapier turret is a close second with about two more shield damage points and maybe one more hull damage point, but it uses about 27 more energy - so the two or three extra damage points is hardly worth it.
