This is a mere filler until somebody with the knowledge writes a proper page.


Overview

Turrets are included in the Vanilla game code but seem only to be used by OXP ships & dockables. Aegidian included turrets back in 2004.

OXP's

Quite a number of OXPs include turrets. See, for example, the Naval ships & stations in Category:Navies

The Yasen-N Turret is the premier Oolite example of a buyable turret.

See also Turret Toggler - which toggles your turrets "off" to prevent them lambasting everything you look at!

  • Twin Plasma Cannon which may be relevant (plasma forerunner of the turrets, predates the laser).


Including turrets in your own oxp's

For programming see Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Ship#isTurret & Shipdata.plist#subentities.

Thargoid produced a test turret: Goliath OXP.
