Looking for something to stick in my small hard points on my annie, and if there still a magnet for security, all pass, was just hoping they were made useful.
are turrets still bad to use (pve)?

They work quite well on the small hardpoints (I use two small beams on the Corvette), you just have to be aware of the options in "4" menu which switch between "Target", "Fire at well" and "Forward fire", "Fire at Will" can be a bit of a nightmare in a CZ because it'll often make everyone hostile. I like to have a macro which changes the mode so that I can switch modes in combat easily.
They're not usually an issue if they're set to Target Only. They definitely have their uses, but on the other hand how useful you will personally find two C1 turrets...that's down to you. I've seen plenty of people use turrets on the bigger slots of condas, just because with the slow turn rate they act like super gimballed weapons.
Curious on what weapon type you're planning on using for the turrets themselves?
I disagree.
If you set them to fire at target they will, even if you target a clean ship to scan it. If you select "Fire at will" they will only fire on hostiles.

It is kind of fun, in a rather odd way, to arm a trade Anaconda with all turrets. When you get interdicted by one of the typical NPC pirates just submit, deploy weapons, and just sit there while the turrets do their job.
Personally I have a torpedo on each of the small HPs. I use them as a kind of weapon-of-last-resort against FAS, which are about the only NPC ship that will trouble a well specced Anaconda.
