So clone war era Turrets I have few ideas. And improvement for Civil War era.
Anti air craft:

Rocket turret:

Rocket Turret 2:

And yes they need a person to fire with them. So why Civil war era turrets don't? Like this:

And it was also used during Clone wars

I do believe infantry engineers should be used to build turrets like in Axis & Allies.

Agree

M Doyle · « **Reply #3 on:** February 07, 2009, 03:37 pm »

that was asked before and may not be possible. and each faction will have its own unique turret, but not 'till V2

Argonnath · « **Reply #4 on:** February 07, 2009, 04:52 pm »

Ok... But is possible to remake some of them so there is Rebel/Imperial operating it.

Only having engineers be able to build turrets IS perfectly possible.

Also methinks there should be a range of turret sizes... And different sized pads to go with - perhaps the really basic ones could be normal infantry buildable.

if you are to do that, then the dont expect the modellers to have nicely detailed models if you impose them a dealine.
let me explain:

Anti-aircraft turret + anti infantry turret + anti vehicule turret + rocket turret 1 + rocket turret 2 = 5 x 3 (assuming there will be 3 sizes of turrets available: small medium and big) is 15 different models. if your going to give the modellers a dealine (say they have a month) well dont expect some well detailed models.

if i have misinterpreted things (or everything) tell me.

I think there should be 3 types:

A small build pad for tiny, tripod mounted heavy weapons; heavy/medium repeaters (1 per faction)
example:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Repeating_blaster

A medium one for regular turrets (3 per faction, similar to the ones already in-game)

And maybe a larger one. Scaled down turbolasers? torpedo launchers? Ion emplacements?

good idea

Argonnath · « **Reply #10 on:** February 11, 2009, 09:43 am »

Indeed good idea.

Tanus · « **Reply #11 on:** February 12, 2009, 05:27 pm »

can this be made to work? I like the idea, I'm just curious about the "how" part of it.

I think that means it is possible. Chris isn't normally wrong and it seems a simple enough thing to do.

basic infantry shouldnt be able to build turrets, it should only be a special type of unit

That's a stupid comment to just stick into a carefully debated topic.

So more secrets Chris? You were sharing stuff with us last week...

Stockholm Syndrome (pORG13i) · « **Reply #16 on:** February 15, 2009, 10:04 pm »

what about infiltrators? Will they be able to build better turrets than normal infantry?

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2009, 10:04 pm »

Change

to

?

We'd need new models, but this could easily work (both different turret pad sizes and turrets) as well as infantry only making the smaller ones and engineers required for bigger ones.

M Doyle · « **Reply #18 on:** February 15, 2009, 10:05 pm »

Hmm, Would a small/ medium turrets be like the T-2b turret?

Sarcastic · « **Reply #19 on:** February 15, 2009, 10:07 pm »

So it would be safe to say engineers are in?

How are they going to work or is that top secret as well?
