Give back the old Type 4 Transport Turrets! - schlurbi - 06-23-2010
As the Topic Title says this is about having back the old Transport Type 4 Turrets, known with the blue Lasers.
Quite some Time ago Transport Turrets were changed, some said they were buffed. But well, the blue Solaris wasn't. Actually nerfed, a Lot. The Energy Cost was increased quite a Lot.
The Type 4 Turrets were kind of the only effective Weapon against a Bomber, even with them it was hard to kill a Bomber using those, now it is a Lot harder killing a Bomber with a Transport. Giving Transports a much better Chance against a single Bomber, because if you meet two of them, then you are still screwed.

Can you give me the stats, I haven't been around when old ones were here. And can't answer if I don't know the stats. So...
EDIT: Got my vote

Same Stats, just less Energy Cost.

I'd like to have the old turrets back
And stats if I remember it was like transport turret type 3 but was blue not green

I agree with giving back the old stats, but please leave the new animations, those generic purple lasers looked uncool.

Why not.

I am doing quite well with the current ones, but since it won't hurt to decrease the energy-consumption I voted for getting the old ones back.
On the plus side would be that some of my four ATs could be outfitted with type 4s for better bomber hunting. Right now an AT is not able to shoot type 4s efficiently, because shield-recharge and type 4s drain too much energy.

D:
I don't like any of the transport turrets except for the small versions.
Why should transports have special defenses?
They will never be FTW boats for combat.
And the small turrets are fine and look great.

I agree. The Type 4s also need a range buff to be actually useful on large transports like the Shire...the current range is barely enough to reach the nose of the ship from the last turret slot...
Also, the energy consumption should be roughly the same than Type 2 turrets.
I also can remember that, when the new turrets were introduced, the devs said the large energy use was a bug and is about to be fixed, which never happened.

As I have said in other threads - let Transports use Gunboat turrets.
They will be limited by their smaller powercores, and be able to use Faction GB guns as well as the more generic Transport guns.
