auto def console

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I have a auto tac defense console. It says '45 plasma damage'. Does that mean it only adds that damage to plasma weapons or does it add that to the weapons that I use? Must I use a plasma weapon or not? Thanks

    It shoots a little bolt of plasma at things that get close, like mines, incoming torpedoes, fighters, etc.

    Hence why it's called an "Automated Defense Turret", because it's a turret with a 360 degree arc that fires defensively automatically.

    The console itself acts like a turret, firing every once in a while, and dealing 45 plasma damage. So it doesn't modify any weapons damage, it is pretty much a weapon.

    its handy at lower levels when you cant really take the hit from a overcharged torpedo so the auto turret will take it out. also in pvp at lower levels it gives you slightly more dps.

    It also fires on cloaked ships that get too close.... :)
