Deployable turrets in space don't work 80% of the time... I've been using them for about 2 weeks and my results are not good, considering their not exactly cheap to get..
1. I drop one 7km away from the only enemy on the map, it does nothing until the enemy flies within 4km. But continues to fire on new enemy spawns that are within 10km.
2. I drop one 4km away from a sphere, it targets the gate that's 20km away, never fires, despawns.
3. I drop one in front of a cube, the only enemy on the map, 3km away, it never fires, cube was alive and in range the whole 300 secs, it did not fire once.
4. I drop one 8km away, it starts firing immediately.
Number 3 happens more than anything else. Someone suggested that I hit "Y" after dropping one, it doesn't help in any way, the results are the same.

they are for temporary area-denial, so they should have a defensive AI. just shoot the closest thing, that's their job, to keep stuff out of that area
