Are the Class-4 turrets come as manned and/or only remote controlled?asked by DragoFire
TL;DRA Class-4 turret is a remotely controlled mount, not manned; Class-5 and above are manned, and the size scale runs from fixed Class-1 mounts up to Class-10 capital ship mounts.
Ok, so on the turrets, a Class-4 turret is a bigger remotely controlled turret, it is not a manned turret. A Class-5 turret and above are manned turrets, so on a Constellation is two Class-5 turrets, on the back of a Freelancer there's a Class-5 turret. A Class-4 turret is essentially a weapon mount that has either a bigger gun or hardpoints for two smaller guns. So a good example is the Hornet, the ball turret it a Class-4, and also the canard turret is a Class-4. A Class-2 mount is essentially a very small turret that can only fit one smaller gun on. So an example of a Class-2 mount is the wing gatlings on the Hornet for instance. A Class-1 is a fixed mount for a gun. So I hope that explains it to a certain extent. We have actually a bigger setting that goes all the way up to Class-10 for including capital ship mounts. Those things include spinal weapons as well as much bigger turrets that are ship-to-ship.
