Turrets / Defence Turrets In Starbound

I was going over the screenshots on the "Media" section of the main site for starbound, when I noticed this::



Doesn't slot number 6 look like some form of turret ?

P.S. Ray gun in left hand ^_^

 

Couldn't this have gone into the other thread that already exists?

 

My bad, totally forgot about the other thread :/ Will post it there now ^_^

 

Maybe it's actually an attachment to a vehicle that it hasn't been equipped to yet.

 

In a shortcut slot ?

 

I'd personally put it there if I wanted to make sure I didn't forget about it, or perhaps had a full inventory. And, perhaps you'd equip such a thing by using it while driving the vehicle.

 

Still think NPC would make a better turret that you can't spam. A limited amounts of NPCs equals a challenge at any hour.

 

If there were placeable turrets, I would go nuts. That would honestly be the coolest thing.

 

Placeable turrents hmm.. There would have to be some kind of offset penalty. Maybe 25 blocks within the turret you shoot 50 % slower? So that a turret cannot be spammed? or maybe even a 50 block spacing between turrets?

I guess the best limit for turrets would be their availability. Since I guess you'll build them that'll be the resources. If one REALLY wants to get so much resources to make a screen full of turrets I'd say let them, what's wrong with that?
Well unless that one brings them on another server (dunno if SB will follow Terrarias way in this between on and offline) and sets them to Kill everything on sight...

Still it could be helpful if you have the resources and a hard boss lurking around ^^

Would be cool if you could also adjust the turrets, I don't want them to shoot my owls :O (there will be owls or I'll be very very sad)

 

Only one thing can describe this...
