Second Jan flight test; in this test turrets are enabled and we have a bit of place holder SFX to watch the timing of shots vs SFXs.

Terran turrets independently track and fire meaning it is possible to fire at multiple targets with the help of more advanced targeting systems. Turrets can be placed anywhere on your ship and will of course hold fire if they don't have clear line of sight.

Turrets come in 4 sizes (small to large ... in this bid we used small) and 3 major categories (beam, cannon, launcher). Numerous weapons and ammunition types can be equipped to get the desired effect in combat.

Turrets are grouped into fire controllers, in the vid we had all turrets in a single group thus they all tracked with the camera however more advanced ships could split this up allowing multiple targets to be tracked and fired upon at a time either via advanced target AIs or by manually 'locking' the targets.
