Turrets

Range

Only when a turret/ship is within range to an enemy, it shoots.

Fire Rate

How often a ship fires. A fire rate of 0.10 means the turret is fired shots every 10 simulated days.

Turret Types

  1. Gatlings: Rapid fire at a short range, with low damage.
  2. Lasers: Constant damage at a short range, with a constant fire rate.
  3. Ballistic: Ballistic turrets have medium range and moderate fire rate.
  4. Snipers: Railguns have a long range, low fire rate but deal the most damage per hit.

Ideas for Presets

Gunboat: Swarmers

Agile gunboats equipped with gatling guns for rapid, close-range assaults.

+ Quick to strike with significant initial damage.

- Vulnerable to long-range attacks; best used in swarms for effectiveness.

Heavy Cruiser: Snipers

Robust cruisers with railguns, designed to make the first impactful hits.

+ Delivers powerful initial blows with railguns.

- Slower follow-up attacks due to the low fire rate; can be outmanoeuvred by swarmers.
