Turret Type II

For us nostalgic folk over in betaland, can we have the old weapons back too? As seperate weapons from the new ones ofcourse. I’d just like to equip those “Heavy Railguns” again and look like a frigging turret. X3

This is not planned.

What was the reason of the retirement of such weapons? They did awesome damage and had very low fire rate and projectile speed, plus the barrel rotation thing. Weapon variety is one of the best things this game could have, and having heavy rails, plasma and laser would increase the amount of variety, not only weapon wise, because people would find new ways to fit their ships according to such weapons.

The biggest issue of all Hwy weapons that were designed and planned to deal with Hwy frigates, is that every time they ended up uber strong vs fighters. That been a balance bane for a while now, there are multiple ways to go around it, but decision has to be made on which approach to chose.
