Two Turrets are in the front, next to the bridge, two in the middle, connected to the front ship bays, and two in the rear, connected to the engine room.
== Display ==

When you enter a Turret room, even if the Turret Command is broken, a screen such as the following appears:

{| class="wikitable"

The 6 turrets are listed on the '''left hand side''' of the view screen. Their arrangement is easier to remember if read from bottom to top.
From inside a Turret you can see one person from each other Turret, and if someone is in a {{Equipment|Patrol ship}} or {{equipment|Pasiphae}}, the ship icon and its pilot would show up just next to the turret screens. You can also see how many charges are left in each turret.

''In this screenshot there are no ships out. There are four charges in each Turret, except for Rear Alpha Turret and Centre Alpha Turret which are spent, either because someone has been firing or they are broken.

On the '''right hand side''' of the screen it shows 14 (of the 56) ships that are currently shooting at the Daedalus. The first ships listed on the right-most column show an exemplar of all the types of hunters that are attacking. When shooting, '''you can click on the ship you want to aim''', or if unspecified you will shoot a random ship. Hovering an asteroid will tell you how long you have before it deals its damage. {{confirm|An Asteroid with earliest collision time is always shown.}}

''In this screenshot, even though we cannot see all the [[Hunters]], Trax and Asteroids, we know that there is no Aracks, d1000s or [[trading|transporter]] surrounding the ship.

== Mechanics ==
Turrets have a base percentage of 30% accuracy rate for all players, as compared to an 80% accuracy base rate for a pilot in a ship. They cost 1 AP or 1 shooter point to fire. The [[Inventory#Gear|Lenses]] and the [[Inventory#Gear|Sniper Helmet]] increase your chances by 10% each, and they do stack (For example, 1 NCC Lens will give you 30% + 10% * 30 = 33%, 2 NCC Lenses will give you 36% and so on). Also, for each failed shot your next shot has a higher percentage rate of hitting. General advice is to only use turrets when the AP cost of flying is exceeds turret AP (say 1 ship with 2 hp left), there are no pilots or there is an emergency and you can't move the ship.

== Action ==

{{Action Details|
|Name = Shoot
|Cost =
|Success Chance = 30%
|Effect = Uses up a charge to fire at a hunter or transporter.
**If a target is '''selected''', this target is necessarily hit in case of success. Otherwise a '''random target''' is hit.
**If a [[Trading|Transporter]] is hit, it will leave at the beginning of next cycle.
**A charge is used even if the action fails
**Damage: {{confirm|2-4}}
***If the target reaches 0 shield points, it is destroyed and the remains ({{item|Scrap Metal}}, etc.) can be collected around the DAEDALUS.
|Public Log = {{todo|log}}
|Private Log = {{todo|log}}
}}

== Tips ==

Turrets are ineffective. It costs 1 {{AP}} to fire, with only 30% base accuracy to hit, and low base damage.

Their efficiency can be improved with an {{Item|Invertebrate Shell}} for double damage, and accuracy boosts like the [[Vending_Machine#Projects|Targeting Assist]] project, but mostly they should only be used to finish off already wounded hunters, or numbers too small to warrant taking off for (1-2).

Ship turrets have 4 shots each before they have to recharge, which is done automatically between cycles.
