TIL during 1946 nuclear weapon tests in the Pacific, animals were put on ships in the blast area. Goat #119, behind plate armour inside a gun turret, died from the radiation in 4 days. Goat #53, out on deck, died in 2. Pig #311 was found swimming around and was brought back to the zoo in Washington.

PSA: The turrets of a docked ship can still shoot!
Is it planned to have destructible ship turrets ?
I was wondering if the turrets of the ship could be destroyed or disable while dogfighting large ships such as the HH.
Because while doing some ERTs, I tried to focus my shots on the HH turrets with my Inferno and it didn't seem to have any other effect than applying damages to the HP pool of the concerned ship section.
Destructible turrets could add a lot more gameplay strategies than just unloading your ammos on the same part of the ship until it explodes.
Can I get some advice with what to fill my ship with? Number of heatsinks/heat manifolds, cannons, types of turrets?

How to buy more turrets, need to equip ships
Hi
Maybe i am oversseing something obvious, but how do get 18 Naonite Minig lasers, i checked some Equipment docks and was able to buy 3. I am jumping around like for hours just to find out the equipment dock only has guns not mining lasers, and if they have, they rolled titan, but i need naonite.
What is the trick in this? visit a turret factory, write down what they need for building the 18 turrets and jump around in a freighter to collect the goods? And how do you know which factory sells the goods you need. Map filter or simply visit a trading station?
Please shed some light, i am to new to this game (but not this genre).
PS: i am at trinium level already if that matters.

Mammalian Ships Without Turrets
I was wondering if there was a mod out there that removes the turrets from the mammalian shipset? I think the ships look beautiful to me but the turrets, more specifically the size of the turrets look ridiculous
Got my first ship kill: Do vanilla turrets suck?
After iterating through a half dozen failures, I finally took down my first ship!
It was some miner/hauler NPC ship from either the Modular Encounters & Air Traffic Mods.
It took 2-3 minutes of my 10 gatling and 4 missile turrets to bring the thing down... Is that normal?
Or would I be FAR better off with a pile of gattling guns and aiming/firing them manually?
AD5B Ballistic Gatling (From Redeemer turrets) inherits colour from applied paint on Ship - it's the little improvements sometimes!

What (smaller) ships would allow for 1 pilot, and two people on turrets?
Getting confused by what I see on Freelancers and what is a manned vs unmanned turret.
Is there any ship smaller than a Hammer Head (Which is a bit pricey and overkill) that would let two people fire turrets while a pilot flies? (Missiles optional.)
We have a group of three that play together often, and are trying to find a ship we can use in combat scenarios.
