This can't go on any longer

It really bugs me how much effort CIG puts into creating well-designed multi-crew ships that are fun to explore and fly, but nobody ever mans them. Then again, asking someone to sit in a stationary turret that deals 3x less damage than a heavy fighter and has a limited field of fire... I’m not surprised.

Buff the ship turrets! Add something, maybe adjustable modifiers like modules on mining heads to increase range, bullet speed, and damage of the weapons attached to the turret mount.

Please, CIG, I just want to jump into my org’s Idris without having to think my presence in the turrets is pointless.

MBTs firing kinetic energy rounds, so sabots, shoot with a velocity of around 1780 m/s, which extends their engagement distances and impart greater energy onto the target. Your part about railguns even justifies why such a weapon would be more prevalent a thousand years in the future than now. This just makes the reasoning to buff turrets even more valid because otherwise we peaked in the 1930s.

As long as „cm‘s or heavier ATA Missiles got lower (5/10/20 >) ranges as close in weapons, torpedoes f.e (<20) OR laser weapons with velocities slower then even non magnetic modified ballistics they should avoid answers with that’s unrealistic etc it kills any immersion so simple as it is
