Ok this is just a beginning I'm still building up a good build, Now I like your support if you could give me some advice who to build this up better... Your advice is welcome...
Still building don't have much EC at the moment but that will come in time...
Deflector and such I like that to have this in fleet version but should I do Elite or Advanced same with the turrets and witch turrets could I use, Tetryon or Polaron, Anti Proton which is best to use for this build.
I look forward at your advice and how to proceed and for those who like to try this may want to follow this thread...
Cheers !!!

For disruptors, you'd go to the Undine space battle zone and earn the heavy disruptor turret and console, then also get bio-molecular turrets from the daily & hourly rep boxes.

Also, you can upgrade the reputation weapons. So if you get a turret with CrtD CrtH or CrtDx2 you can buy some improved tech upgrade off the exchange and level it up to mark 13.
I'd suggest that you stop at 13 instead of paying the very high cost of upgrading to mark 14 and epic in case you decide to change weapons later.
Also, save any beams and cannons you get from the rep boxes in your bank or on your other ships "for later.". Maybe you don't want beams now but you might get a new ship and want beams on it.
Well way back, about 2 years I ago, I put together an AP turret build.
While I never broke 7500 dps (with mkxii purples , when that was top end gear) I can say I had a blast.
I used the fleet excelsior as a base, it has 8 weapon slots, and can use cannon rapid fire.
I'm sure with the proper set up, with mkxiv gear, you can probably crack 10k dps.
At the time my turrets were fleet issue. CrtDx2 Dmgx2
I may actually revisit this idea.
Ive wanted to try it out again for a while.
I'd advise you to use crtDx3 CrtH AP or rom Plasma turrets.
Next step would be to aquire MK xiv fleet locators or exploiters, I think for a turret build you'd be best served with locators, to up your crit H chances.
I mean the base damage isn't high to begin with, so I figure you'd rather crit more often, then having stronger crit damage.
Same with the turrets actually, it may be best to go with CrtHx3/ Acc perhaps or crtHx3 crtD
If you can find them on the exchange. They'd certainly be cheaper then crtDx3
Versions.
And...enjoy the turret boat, they're a lot of fun
Thought on rebuilding it with Corrosive Plasma Turrets only there not much of them available at the moment But on looking further if I use Turrets with [Pen] it has a higher rate of penetrating armor And I thought of using the Undine weapons because they ignore shields in case of the vaadwaur it seems logical to use this...
Also Use an Locater as you suggested and something that give turrets extra power...
I still trying to figure it out but as of now Undine are most likely to go !!!

I was looking at plasma weapons on the exchange recently, including corrosive.
Corrosives are nice but damn pricey compared to regular plasma.
Canon Weapons with crtd crth pen vary dramatically in price. Single plasma cannons you can get for about 100k, duals and dual heavies, the price skyrockets to 6-700k, corrosive, you can double that easily, I didn't check turret prices.
If you do go plasma, romulan rep boxes give decent romulan plasma weapons, including turrets.
I'd be tempted to fit single cannons up front and turrets aft, then paint "This end towards enemy" on the bow of your ship.

I don't know how well it would work, but with a Vo'Quv maybe you could make it work by stacking Particle Generators for DPS or Flow Capacitors for epic drain and then using five turrets for procs and an omnibeam for the called shots.
I think I'd set up a drain build and load polaron turrets personally, run the ship as "I turn your shields off, my BoP pets pump torpedoes into your hull." Though without beams you couldn't use Subsystem Targeting so you do lose that. Not exactly a min-max build, but it'd work as an experiment.

I did something similar when I first started playing (Fleet Excelsior was my first "big" ship purchase in-game), only difference was I was sporting 3 Polaron single cannons and the Borg torp in the front, along with 3 Polaron turrets and the cutting beam in back... Used to hold it's own pretty well and is a cruiser build I've considered toying with again...

Same here, I may try setting up something tonight.
Excel is a good base, but I'd imagine any ship with 8 weapons sports would work.
Single cannons up front would also be annother way to bring up the DPS if 8 turrets doesn't satisfy the OP.
But seriously, its a blast firing 8 turrets with cannon rapid fire.. just looks so cool.
The T6 Samsar might be a good choice too actually.
Depending on the tactical Boff layout (never opened my box, so not sure what the tac setup is on that ship...).another interesting choice might be the T6 Breen carrier we got during the WW event.
Especially if OP wants to use plasma turrets, as he could use Rom scorpion pets, which have plasma based attack.
As for polarons, yep that would work too, I was toying with the idea of getting phased polaron turrets.
For a drain build.
If OP really wanted to use plasma, I'd suggest the Rom plasmas, good procs and easy to pick what mods You want from to Rom rep store...but they do cost quite a bit of dilithium.
The corrosives are excellent plasma weapons.. but super expensive...
But there would not be a problem mixing some different plasma turrets, Like for example a few corrosives, a few Rom plasmas, a few classic plasmas.
Could be interesting.
I toyed with the idea of having a carrier with 360 weapons and putting all the engine power into other systems. But I would do it with antiproton then wack on the two omnibeams and the kinetic cutting beam too. then only three turrets

It is a peculiar phenomenon that we can imagine events that defy the laws of the universe.
Like to prove you can build a carrier with only turrets like a cruiser can only use torps !!!

For now I easily defeat the borg with it ... !!!

I take you you're trying to build a tanking mothership with 360 degree ark?
Ok I'll note that in the book thanks

Go to as many Tholian red alerts as you can and spend time on the ground on Nukara.
Get Refracting Tetryon gear "free" from the daily and hourly Nukara reputation boxes.
Get the Nuka console + web mine set (+8% tetryon damage), you can skip the beam part of the set

Get at least 2 of the Nukara shield, engine, deflector (+2.5% damage)

For disruptors, you'd go to the Undine space battle zone and earn the heavy disruptor turret and console, then also get bio-molecular turrets from the daily & hourly rep boxes.

Its expensive but compared to turrets, omnibeams are great and do the same job with far greater dps - plus all the advantages of faw
Sure, its not as 'legit' as some builds but as a Vo only has a few tac console slots; a couple of omni-type exploiters might serve you well...
