Summary0001187: Mk. V basic turrets
DescriptionNow that the AI does not use turrets, the Mk. V basic turret isn't really doing much, seeing that there is no way for it to appear in a game. Are there any plans for bringing it back?

This is something I've been thinking about, but haven't got any concrete short-term plans for. At the moment it's just unused, but it won't always be.

Personally I don't think we should be able to build anything above mark III at our facilities. There being 4 levels of Heavy Beam Turret, Flasgship & Scout Starship available doesn't seem to fit with the backstory that mark III is the pinnacle of human research & development with the AI's able to make mark IV & V/Core.

Bear in mind that technology development isn't even -- we have mark IV that, but not mark IV this, etc. That doesn't seem incongruous to me at all, looking at the real world. Granted, players won't have much mark IV stuff directly, ever, and the core turrets would be to some other purpose than just being directly buildable from the start.

Could reuse the graphic as a Module turret. It might fit well on the Hybrid Hives, or some module'd Spire contraption.
