Pretty much what they're at now

Um no please, it should have a lesser range but higher damage than normal blasters, as it is currently. The change they should make is to lessen damage to below compressed. I like the "shotgun" element to them as they are. Close and deadly. However they would be out ranged/damaged by Compressed, but not out-DPS'd.

Don't nerf their damage, no one would use a long range low damage blaster because at the greater range your aiming margin of error increases so a pray and spray long range weapon is not too viable.
Quote:Compressed
Damage: High
RoF: Low
Range: Low
Ammo: Moderate
That is what it's like right now. However with ammunition Compressed turrets would become more viable, as it would require less ammunition to kill.
Quote:Remove the higher PG/CPU costs for Stabilized, I've never seen a Stabilized Ion Cannon on the field unless it's on a trash fit, because they are impossible to fit.
I think they should nerf the PG/CPU costs so it is more reasonable. As it is, the STD 20GJ Blasters all take 100 PG but the stabilized requires 125 PG, which is immense, a 25% increase which can really eat at your tank, in concern to dropships and LAVs. But really there has to be a downside to longer range and as I stated above nerfing the applicable combat stats would not work to well.
Because turrets will require ammunition in the future, turrets will be allowed the buff they need to compete with handheld weapons. As it is AR's beat 20GJ blasters hands down, 20GJ Missiles are viable but they have "Wonky" moments, and 20GJ Railguns have been creeping in the trash can since this game pretty much started.
Also note that I am more concerned on 20GJ over 80GJ because those are the turrets that are applicable to me and Condor Squad. Right now 80GJ work, but 20 GJ are lagging behind.
Also your ideas do not incorporate heat. |

TO do this, give it an obscene DPS (means every shot is going to be like 225dmg, but give it a crazy falloff. Like it only does full damage within 25m, but drops off to half damage at 50m
Ammo Conservation. You won't be able to kill people so fast but you won't eat through ammunition too much. It's kind of like the breach weapons. |
