What is the difference between

C1 Pulse Laser [G]
C1 Pulse Laser [T]
C1 Pulse Laser

G is gimbaled ? or gimbaled always have have description to it ?

Also suggesting more detailed description ingame on ships when looking at them to buy ..like on mouse over or something ...like in Eve Online.

On unrelated stuff, how do we form group with others ...option to form fleet ? Can we share missions with other pilots n divide our reward cut ?

yeah don't count on it.
The only weapon platform with "good" tracking capability is the Point Defence Turrets. Everything else just sprays all over the place.

It's a turret. Some say useless, some slap those on big ships like a Anaconda so they have wider coverage.

I assume they will be very useful with the biggest class of ship in the game, which are supposed to be even larger than the 'conda. Right now, not so much.

Also, down the line, you'll be able to hire gunner crew, which are supposed to increase your turret accuracy a lot.

i see ..thanks a lot lol ...as for Point Defence Turrets ..they only just shoots down incoming missles aye ? not other ship i assume

Standard = fixed.

Gimballed = tracking within a prescribed range, so you still have to point your ship.

Turret = tracks your selected target for you as long as it can see it! designed for bigger ships like the Anaconda.
