Simple question:
Does the cannon skill "starship cannon weapons" improve Turret dmg ?

Like a fellow Fleet Captain hinted
"maybe ... Turrets surely squirt like cannons" -_-

    Honestly I don't know the answer to that, but I have another question along those lines. I noticed in the Tactical Officers Lt. Commander skill "Security" description that it improves firearms, does that mean that it improves Rifles and all firearms or just the pistol ones?

    While I cant always decipher the rather "cryptic" (no pun inteded lol) thinking of the devs, I believe that "firearms" means everything: rifles, pistols and those heavy weapons like the arc-waves.

    I also had a fleet-mate say that anything that affects cannons affects turrets, since they are after-all, tiny cannons.

    I think Cannons skills covers turrets, since the Cannon: Rapid Fire ability can affect the turret

    Rightclick a turret and read the info. Somewhere along the lines it says it is affected by "Starship Cannon Weapons".

    Yes. Turrets count as cannons for the purposes of skills, abilities and range.

    Confirming that Turrets are a type of Cannon, when it comes to any skill or ability boosting Cannons.

    As for Pistols...

    Security boost Pistols, Soldier boosts Rifles, and Special Forces boosts Assault Weapons.

    The description in Security is basically a run-on sentence.

    "as well as firearms, threat control, and close protection abilities"

    meaning
    - firearm abilities
    - threat control abilities
    - close protection abilities
