Its easy to forget the most valuable resource in this game are the players. Not UEC, not ships, but the crew who make it all happen and become a force multiplier when manning valuable roles. The fundamental flaw with small turrets is that they squander this precious human capital. Why run a 2xS3 turret when you can put that same player in a light fighter? More firepower, more maneuverability, and the enemy now has two targets to fight instead of one.

In my opinion, manned turrets should be at a minimum 2xS5 to make up for the hit to maneuverability when compared to light fighters. All smaller turrets should be remote and slaved to a single gunner to create a bullet saturation effect. We used to have this slaved turret system with the Reclaimer WAY back in the day, where the primary top turret slaved and fired all other turrets.

This would drastically alter the combat equation to incentivize crewing ships together. We need a reason to run multiple people onboard large vessels without sacrificing combat capability.

Please CIG bring back slaved remote turrets <3
