How effective can we expect these turrets to be at shooting down incoming torpedoes?

Adam ParkerSystems Designer

We want to be able to shoot them down anyway, don't we?

John CreweVehicle Pipeline Director / Lead Systems Designer

Yeah, again, not a Hammerhead-specific thing, because we want to have missiles and torpedoes be targetable for all ships.

Adam ParkerSystems Designer

Yeah, that was one of the main ideas behind it, in that you've got a fleet of large ships like the Idris and the Javelin, and they're going to be somewhat vulnerable to torpedoes, so you can employ Hammerheads to form a flak screen to take out incoming torpedoes.

John CreweVehicle Pipeline Director / Lead Systems Designer

Yeah, when we were doing the initial pitch, it was that patrol boat slash flak barge idea, that it just floats around and rinses an area. Offensively, not great.

Adam ParkerSystems Designer

Because it's so slow.

John CreweVehicle Pipeline Director / Lead Systems Designer

But it's there to just put a wall of fire in between.
