Erlking L Turret (ware)

The Erlking L Turret fires a single high speed projectile, superheated and accelerated by a custom pulsed laser. While fixed weapons usually outperform their turret counterparts of the same size, the Erlking's turrets are an unusual exception; the damage from this turret is comparable to, and might even exceed, that of L Pulse Laser weapons at close range. Over distance, however, the damage output falls off steeply, and at maximum range barely matches that of a standard L Pulse Laser turret. Although the Erlking is perfectly capable of defending itself at a distance, the high damage output of its turrets at short range makes it much more dangerous at close proximity, meaning that aggressive manoeuvres by the Erlking's pilot are rewarded. This exceptional performance is attributed to the Erlking's power core, from which the turrets draw energy.

Boso Ta commented that this turret employs electronic redundancies designed to be especially robust against internal radiation damage, and that this is necessary due to its slight but continuous exposure to the power core.
