That was my idea! I can't find the thread now, but I was suggesting a capture the terminal game mode where a terminal is defended by a lot of turrets and the first team to get to the terminal and hack it wins. My suggestion involved Scanning nodes as well so you could not rely on Stealth alone to win.

God damn.
Is there a dust support group for unmanned blaster installation PTSD?
Is there a therapist who can help me deal with this phobia? I agree. Why is it that they are so damn accurate at killing lavs. Rail and missle instals don't shot when you go past. So why is it that blasters do. I understand when you shoot them that it would be a defence thing. I've died to many times to these damn things when they are unmanned. Plus some are stupidly placed behind massive towers (mostly missle turrets) they don't have the range to get a kill from distanes and its difficult to land a shot on moving infanty anyway. So why place a building in front of them?
The position makes them tough to crack, in a lot of maps blasters are kind of set closer to the middle and the firing cooldown is higher. Also take into account the total time needed to kill; railguns have a better range but typically need a 4th shot to bring down lavs and with 3 being the limit before a substantial cooldown you're probably going to run away. Maddy's probably fear rails a bit more because the lack of motion and mistiming of hardeners dooms the majority of them.
Missiles are worse for infantry in some maps because no cooldown and in a map like the rail where it's skirmish if you push the enemy back to their own spawn the missile is right there ready to shoot you into oblivion.
Blasters are like the railgun and combat rifles of turret installations; you're more likely to die to them because you can get more shots off and, like missile installations, have a bit of a splash effect so you don't always have to be precise on everything. Railgun installation gun kills are not the hottest of installations as you're not as likely to die to them but but if you have a really good gunner, it's one of the only kills in the game where the clone goes flying up in the air and makes a few bounces when it lands  Not too many people can really use the railgun effectively against anything else outside a maddy and other installations.
I'd also add it's kind of silly of a railgun/missile installation to shoot you as you run past; railguns have a huge delay in just firing and missiles aren't exactly an auto firing installation. It's what makes blasters effective against infantry and most vehicles; fast firing speed, can make more shots versus a railgun and a bit of a splash effect damage as well. I still prefer a railgun if I were to use one but meh oh well  |

You might as well go a step further. Rouge drone infested blaster turrets that are mobile. Now that would be the stuff of nightmares. You turn around and suddenly! Blaster turret! You don't dare move and hope some poor blueberry runs into it thus buying yourself a few more minutes of life.

Those things are pure ******* evil.
No joke. I was running past a hostile one (getting chased.) it decides to kill me. I expect to see that it was manned, but nope unmanned. I was on foot!
