Please take a look at these spreadsheets and tell us what you think. Remember, this is all still early days and very much a work in progress!
Not a fan of method you've taken for resistances. "hybrid-rail" is a damage type? Sounds like a weapon/delivery mechanic classification to me. Why not a bonus to thermal/kinetic damage resistance?

Not correct. Rails and blasters, as hybrid weapons, use the same ammo. The ammo is what determines damage types on all turrets and launchers. Rails and blasters have different damage multipliers, optimal ranges, falloff, tracking, and etc...but the damage types and proportions are the same when using the same ammo.
T2 ammo is specific to long/short turrets and their damage profile is likely different btwn T2 rail ammo and T2 blaster ammo. But for the other 2/3 of the ammos the type of hybrid turret does not affect the damage profile.

changing bonuses is not reformation. Is there going to be a reformation?
