That is why my Cobra uses them. Along with a pair of seekers.Until The Engineers came along.... then we got ♨ efx! Now we can use multicannons to melt shields and rupture hulls!
I'm just trying to get back in to the game. When I left, 2 large multi cannon turrets did damage, now they hardly register. It's fine I guess.
Test your turrets outside of a CZ instead, they should do decent damage there. But CZs have tougher, more durable opponents than before, which could be why your turrets don't do much damage to them.I'm just trying to get back in to the game.

Not sure what purpose vanilla turrets have in the game now, but no matter. Adapt or die as they say.
I haven't played this derailed game for two years neither. It never occured to me to try MC against shields ever. And bigger didn't make it really better. At least take one turret with energy weapons. ANYTHING that is good against shields. What you did is nerfing your output with a turret and then nerf it again with weapon choice. It is so silly that I have a hard time to believe you're serious.I'm just trying to get back in to the game. When I left, 2 large multi cannon turrets did damage, now they hardly register.

Well, once upon a time, I could grab a medium ship, equip 2 large vanilla turrets, enter a CZ, and have a good old time just flying around watching the ammo fly. Sure, it wasn't effective, but it was laid back gaming. Now they don't even leave a mark. But as I said before, I guess it's just logical progression. Engineers introduced a whole new grind level, so FD had to beef the NPCs. It's fine. I'll adapt. Fly some tourists instead.
It was the point where I refused to adapt. I wasn't very happy about my stuff getting nerfed for core gameplay. They can run in their little hamster wheels by themselves.Well, once upon a time, I could grab a medium ship, equip 2 large vanilla turrets, enter a CZ, and have a good old time just flying around watching the ammo fly.

Put a burst laser turret on one side. That will take shields down.Thanks for all the replies. Things have sure changed. I used to be able to do damage with a pair of large multi cannon turrets, but no more apparently. I suppose this means turrets are useless all together? I kind of enjoyed just floating about and letting the turrets do their thing.
I tried some medium burst turrets as well. No dice.
Are turrets now pointless?
Here's one example Vulture ship design I cooked up, turreted overcharged beam laser + gimballed overcharged multicannon (since I personally detest putting multicannons on turrets, wastes ammo vs shields). Engineered, of course. That beam turret can fire all day as long as you keep enough pips to weapons.

In that case, feel free to post your own build. Remember that the OP wants turrets, not the optimal meta build.
Vanilla preferably.
I live for complements like this. Cookbook meta builds are BORING.
Vanilla version here, zero engineering and some adjustments:Vanilla preferably.
