Can we mount Class-4 turrets on Class-5 hardpoints if we're willing to sacrifice some firepower for remote turret control?Related to that, can we slave Class-4 turrets to particular gunnery stations?asked by Caedo. Premium Caedo
You definitely can slave Class-4 turrets to different gunnery station, and whether you can mount a Class-4 turret on a Class-5 hardpoint is completely data driven. It depends on the ship. You absolutely could have a ship that would say "In this hardpoint, it can accept either a Class-4 or a Class-5 turret" of size 2 or size 3 or whatever.That's a data driven issue, so it's more about the actual ship and what the design is thinking is applicable. So it wouldn't be a general rule, some when it has a Class-5 turret can only take a Class-5 turret, some ships may be interchangeable between Class-5 and Class-4.But generally, you can slave pretty much all Class-4 turrets and potentially there could be an opportunity to slave a Class-5 turret too.
