 ==Overview==
 '''Turrets''' in StarMade are a core system feature that can allow any entity, large or small, additional means of attack or defense. While not ultimately necessary for ships to function they become increasingly vital as players build larger and larger. As ships begin to grow in size they will inevitably have trouble maneuvering and turning to face targets. When surrounded by enemies it is completely unlikely for players and even for the AI to fight effectively. [[Space Station]]s face a similar problem as they can not defend themselves from attack hence the use of Turrets.

		+	Turrets are often equipped with the numerous [[:Category:Weapons\|weapons]] available. Each combination providing a unique advantage. [[Cannon Computer\|Cannon]] systems are designed for penetration. Best for punching deep holes into targets or even pushing them away with its immense kinetic force. [[Missile Computer\|Missile]] systems are great for spreading damage out over a large area. The most useful missile combination for turrets are the [[Missile Computer\|Missile]] + [[Damage Beam Computer\|Damage Beam]] system. This combo fires lock-on missiles and the <u>'''AI has the unique ability to instantly lock on to targets'''</U> while the player must wait several seconds for a lock. Finally [[Damage Beam Computer\|Damage Beam]] systems provide a fast, instantaneous, and direct line of attack. They are great for dropping the shields of targets.
		+
		+	Since turrets are still ships they can have and make use of (most) weapon systems installed. However the down side to this is that turrets will draw power from its parent entity. Players should design their ships accordingly if they wish to have a large number of turrets.
