Question about turrets...

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
My alt is a Tac Captain who sometimes flies an Escort and sometimes a Galaxy X Crusier.

Does anyone know if using the ability: "Cannon Rapid Fire" will affect the rate of fire for my turrets as well?

Just wondering.

    Yes, and it makes turrets some deadly weapons when you do a quick strike involving cannons and turrets.

    The area covered by the rapid fire part is still restricted though, you don't get any death blossom effects, just an FYI.

    Hmm? :confused: I don't understand the part about "death blossom effects". What does that mean?

    Its a reference to The Last Starfighter.

    The turrets will only target the target you are firing on, i.e. they won't hit every target in the area.

    I have never seen a Turret build even using CRF III match that of a comparable Beam build using BAO III.

    Death Blossom Rules! :)

    A powerful, powerful movie that inspired one of the great presidents:

    Cannon Scatter Fire with 4+ Turrets does some very close to that ;)

    Close, but no cigar!

    I use both CRF III and BAO III.

    Just no Turrets.

    Sounds fine, however, I was refering to flying a Galaxy X, not an escort. I would not be able to use CRF III or BAO III.
    :D

    I use all weapons against any and all enemies I consider part of the axis of evil. If I find an enemy, I declare war on them and then they become part of the axis of evil. They must be destroyed no matter where their base is at, or located...providing they actually have a base.

    The one thing I regret about my bo's abilities is that fire at will is only for beam weapons, I'm generally happy with everything else. I would love to have that as a single power for any weapon for use in clearing mines, scorpions, heavy torpedoes, etc. It's especially great for grabbing aggro from a teammate who is going down.

    I have turrets on my DSSV's aft section and CSV I.

    It is virtually a death blossom.
