Light and Heavy versions of the turrets

Hi folks, I'd like to suggest that (as we advance in the VS's) you have two versions of the various turreted weapons (not all of them obviously). Specifically a light and heavy version. Example, a light gatling turret should be a smaller, lower profile version a-la the small grid gatling turrets in SE1. I would expect that it would have shorter range and do slightly lower damage (ideally a different ammo type entirely) but would be more of a surface mount type like the small grid ones in SE1. Same for the rocket turrets, and ideally I'd like to see small artillery options also that are a lighter damage/ammo to the heavier ones.

I mean if you take the current SE1 small grid turrets and ported them over it would be awesome! Obviously updated for the new engine and style, but the same form factor and layout, yes please.

i would like this to be more of a durability thing than size thing...


if we can incorperate two models of each system im sure there are times where you dont need a heavily armored weapon system when its meant to be on a light weight, fast moving, hard to track drone, but on your "main"ship, thats a bit slower, a bit easier to pick specific targets on, having the heavyer more durable tank of a unit makes a lot more sense.

Yeah, and I'm really just thinking about structural and design benefits of a smaller form factor for turrets. For most smaller designs the enormous turrets are overkill and too hard to work into a design. The SE1 small grid turrets are really a better form factor overall for most point defense-like functionality.
