No, and I'll tell you why: That becomes a short ranged Railgun, which doesn't make **** all sense. Any high powered gun made to be used up close and personal is usually made to have a very good fire rate for a reason; more shots on target in a faster time period means more damage done to the target, and a slower fire rate means less shots on target, so less damage is done over time, and missing hurts much more.
A semi auto shotgun is a much better idea, as it would still cover the above while having a nice amount of burst damage that a PLC type weapon would give.
EDIT: Also note that blasters are never designed to be long range. That's just extra silly.
EDIT 2: Was going to say you're silly for saying cannons can't be full auto when they have since WWI, but I decided that I was going to show you instead.

The current Blaster is dumb, dumb and dumb: it's just an infantry farming tool and really doesn't sync up with either of the other large turret types, which function at least vaguely like actual tank turrets.
So, yes please to plasma cannon style turret; no thank you to a different MG turret as Minmatar.
First off, who said that Both the AC and the Arty was going to be chosen as one or the other for being added? Second, the AC doesn't have to be silly super full auto like a C-RAM. I've talked about the concept of it being a burst fire turret that shoots explosive rounds.
Also, show me a actual "tank turret" that functions anything like a Rocket turret. Smaller caliber cannons used more so in the cold war than now (but on occasion used now) a lot of the time has full auto guns btw. You know, like a blaster

My other option/opinion is to officially make missiles minmatar and change their color. Then, just make a new turret for amarr and each race has there own turret.
Neither WInmatar nor Caldari owns Rockets or Missiles, same with Gallente not owning Drones. It's just that in both cases it just so happens that Caldari and Gallente has more hulls that gets bonused for rockets/missiles and Drones. This makes even less sense when you realize that there's no reason for restricting the turret count to 4 turrets.

I'm sorry, I am a natural critic. If I feel something is wrong, I feel no shame in addressing such thing. unless I'm feeling lazy anyways. I do want this game to be the best possible thing it can be.

You mean as small turrets? If so, the SCR and PLC would be near useless. the LR being iffy, and the HMG would just be a small AC.

If so, the SCR and PLC would be near useless. the LR being iffy, and the HMG would just be a small AC. I mean turrets that operated like them. Like a heavy laser turret that shot a continuous beam, and a turret with a charge up mechanism like the SCR, turrets like the large missile turret, but one with dual HMGs and one with dual auto-PLCs. Of course, we'll probably never see these. Maybe a reskinned railgun.
Beam lasers don't track well on the move. Just try strafing a LR with a scout, I bet you'll struggle. The Scr being a pulse laser would have the same issue. The large Rocket turret already has a small variant, and a HMG again would be just a small AC. As for a dual barrel full auto PLC, hell no. That would be OP as all ****.
