The single dot isn't bad, but to finish the turret off it needs more to it. another larger ring around it, or perhaps a larger ring with lines going across vertical and horizontal. But as is, it needs to be fixed, and should be a relative easy fix like the sniper rifle. Need examples for creativity?

Example1

Example2

Example3

Personally I find thats what makes me so accurate with it.

No stupid unnecessary crap. Just where my round is going to penetrate the skull of a filthy heathen.

This makes it hard to lead the target from a flying prospective, and gauging to where and when you need to slow down when flying towards a target. Small Missile turrets are accurate due to the fact that the cursor there is designed to help on understanding how far you need to lead the shot to remain accurate.

In the case of Railguns that is not an issue. As far as I am aware they are hitscan, No leading required. "We were commanded to burn the system...We did.
