A piece of equipment that would change the game up a bit would be a sentry gun for all damage types?

Amarr Sentry Gun: Charge Firing High Damage Sentry gun that heats up over time DMG: 15 - 25

Caldari Sentry Gun: Slow firing rail turret that does great damage at longer ranges. DMG : 20

Gallente Sentry Gun: Median ROF turret with plasma rounds and hits at medium ranges: DMG 18.5

Minmatar Sentry Gun: Extremly fast ROF at short to medium range DMG 15

What do you guys think? its just an idea that came to mind and it would change up defending objectives and give the logi role some flavor. Or even a certain amount of time that its deployed for or even a radius you would have to be in to keep it runing.

It would be an equipment slot from your suit & extra proficientcy skills would be like

2% to deploy time per level

or

5% Radius you wouldhave to be in to keep it up per level

or

2% Bonus to damage per level

And finally

Something like a 5% tracking speed bonus

So much potential for a small sentry gun in DUST & it wouldn't be OP because of the minimal damage it would do. And it would be a small turret.

So tell me what are your thoughts of a sentry gun in DUST 514? I would like constructive feedback on what you guys think.

We have this already. The piece of equipment is called a Drop Uplink, and as soon as we have all racial heavy suits you wil have racial sentry guns just as you ask...so be proactive about it.

I've been waiting on something like this for quite a while to be honest. There are couple ways to approach it. You can throw a modified single use uplink on the ground and it wormholes in a small turret equipped stationary platform. Essentially the existing missal, blaster, rail turrets that we hang on LAVs and DS. The CPU/PG cost should be pretty steep...cloak range probably. The other way you could go is essentially taking any existing light weapon on a very light weight tripod set up with a small sensor / fire control system integrated. You get get normal turret AI but in a stationary bare bones system that uses a regular light weapon. I would limit suits that might be able to employ it or again make the CPU / PG cost steep. For both of the employment concepts you can use existing tiers of STD, ADV, PROTO based on the turret operation skill. "Endless money forms the sinews of War." - Cicero

I already know there's a drop uplink in the game theres no need to point it out and its off topic.

And how do you knwo there will be sentry guns after the heavy? please show me your sources :D I can't tell if your joking or not [on topic] As a scout I would love to set one up behind the enemy but I feel it works better as logi gear. Make the CPU/PG noticeably high, allow logi bonus to effect the turret, turrets only remain on the field if you are using a fitting that has a turret (no placing a turret then switching to a spam fit), and restrict it to only one turret deployed at a time (even if you are trying to utilize multiple variants). Due to it's purpose I propose calling it a "Suppressor Turret" as it's job is to slow down the enemy. Higher tier turrets would have a larger proxy and deal more damage. The turret skill would effect both tracking and max ammo. (hives can restore turret ammo). I don't like the idea of staying near the turret being mandatory (but recommended). Give the turret a min-max attack range. Enemies within it's max attack range will not be engaged until they attack the turret, the owner attacks the target, or the target enter it's min attack range. In "Brink" there turrets would scan at a preset angle but if an enemy was detected then the turret would track the target for a full 360 degrees. Turrets could also be hacked by operatives and then, if they so chose, remote controlled. This would be the risk of leaving a turret alone. Had more thoughts but getting hungry so I'll stop here.
