	'''Turrets''' are weapon emplacements equipped on numerous military vessels, ranging from bombers to super capital ships. During the [[Great War]], turrets were generally either standard turrets or missile launchers, with the most notable exception of the unique flux cannons equipped on the [[SD Lucifer\|''Lucifer'']]. Some turrets were occasionally seen equipped with standard fighter weapons.		'''Turrets''' are weapon emplacements equipped on numerous military vessels, ranging from bombers to super capital ships.

+Standard turrets, commonly referred to as '''blob turrets''' due to their appearance, are slow-moving energy projectiles. Although generally regarded as being of limited use, they are capable of intercepting warheads and are particularly deadly to unshielded craft. Types of blob turrets include:
-<i>And any fighter laser</i>

+*[[Terran Turret]]
-The turret's individual AI class doesn't matter. Turret AI class is governed by the ship's pilot AI.

-You can also replace standard turrets with beam cannons or flak guns. Changing turrets to warhead launchers requires tabling knowledge.
+*[[Shivan Super Laser]]
-==Misc notes==
+The Shivan Super Laser, equipped exclusively on the [[SD Lucifer|SD ''Lucifer'']], differs from standard turret weapons in that it is an exclusively anti-capital ship weapon capable of destroying a capital ship in just a few hits. It is referred to from within the game as a "flux cannon". This weapon is commonly believed to be an early example of a [[beam weapon]].
 *The spelling "turrent" is a relatively common misspelling.
