Thats not exactly right, if you're doing something against the other team they kick in too, like if you're shooting at a member of the opposing team and they control a nearby blaster turret it will turn and start shooting at you, also if you're hacking a point near it it will open up on you.

Mainly if you approach a turret and it's barrel is facing you it will most likely open fire, blaster that is. Rails only ever attack vehicles and if you shoot them first. So in a dropsuit vs a rail you're all good it won't aggro on you. And missile turrets... they're a tad random in how they behave sometimes they shoot sometimes they don't not sure what the exact requirements are there.

So as long as one doesn't shoot them or run at them head on then they shouldn't open fire on you.

It's one of the few things this FPS has you can't find else where while in game. And make great battle zones for control of them. and jk bout rage - turrets aren't exactly a heavies best friend :P
Beyobi Soldiers Of One Network Orion Empire 44	Posted - 2012.12.21 04:20:00 - [5] - Quote It's just riduclous. If I kill the operator the turret should not operate. Plain and simple. If you want to say a drone is operating it, then their should be no player interaction with it other than hacking. I will gladly blow them up if they are drones, but as long as I can operate it, I want to hack it and use it. OR - if I was slightly interested in compromise I would suggest a turret shutdown time if the operator is killed. 30 seconds or something. Wouldn't the system need a moment to recognize the operator is gone, switch systems and begin tracking before it could fire?

Don't listen to this guy - they'll kill you if you walk into there specified range, which is surprisingly large. They do seem a tad ******** in picking targets though.
Greasepalms Ahrendee Mercenaries Legacy Rising 70	Posted - 2012.12.21 04:43:00 - [10] - Quote The very first time I called in a HAV it got chewed up by a blaster turret not more than a minute after I got in it... That's my story.

Unless you're standing out in the open, with clear line of sight to the turret, it shouldn't be seeing you, and shouldn't be shooting at you. Unless manned, they're easy to avoid fire from. Quote: and before you want to start talking like tactics, well guess what my tactics is to kill the turret gunner so the turret is no longer a threat. Ditch the Turret Auto tracking. The turrets only auto-track after the gunner dies. Avoid the turret, approach from an unexpected angle, kill the gunner. if it doesn't have a gunner, you just need to stay out of its tracking range and not pick a fight. If you attack it, then it will return fire, but you can exploit that by shooting it and sitting in cover so it wastes time shooting you while your teammates move in to hack it. Quote: Future Problems: Teams spawn in dozens of turrets that nobody will use only to have tons of antivehicle support that has perfect aim and reflexes faster than superman. Now no one uses vehicles because Turrets are such an obnoxious pain in the ass. Like vehicles, there will almost certainly be restrictions on the turrets you can call down, and losing them (either to hacks or destruction) will be become VERY expensive VERY fast. Quote: "well just hack it so it's on your side" - screw you I tried that You did? What happened? How'd you screw up? Because obviously you're still complaining, so you must have done something wrong. Quote:** "leave your vehicle behind cover" - if i walk away from the damm thing, it blows up because of the stupid "Vehicle abandonment" bullshit. thanks for wasting 250K again. You obviously parked in the wrong cover, too far away from the turret. Find a better parking spot next time. And more importantly, if you're in a vehicle, YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO BE ALONE. Work with your team, instead of expecting to lone-wolf everything in the game even though it's specifically designed to kill what you brought in.

Well thats because you were shooting at it or were in a vehicle, a railgun without someone in it will NEVER target a dropsuit, unless again, you're shooting it or you were in a vehicle. If you want it get out of your LAV, run over and cap it it won't shoot you.

I've had one that did, but it's pretty obvious when they're turning to target you, and if you didn't see it coming with more than enough time to take cover, that's your own fault.

Like I said, they don't always need to be shot by you to start tracking. If you're sprinting or shooting when you're really close to the turret, it'll usually pick you up. Sometimes it spots you anyway. 2. Again, I've seen it happen in that scenario myself. 3. You were in cover by the turret, and didn't hack it? Or did it somehow shoot you while you were close enough that it can't aim that low? Or were you using it as cover while standing far enough back from it that it could line up and kill you? Regardless, none of your post addressed my point that YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT LINING UP TO SHOOT YOU.

Nothing wrong with them currently, if you seriously cant see how to get close to a turret and either knock out the operator or destory it you have a couple of options. THE TAKE DOWN 1. Make a basic AV fit, Level 1 Assault suit with a level 1 swarm, damage mods and AV nades. Add a decent smg and your golden. THE SENSIBLE 2. Make sure your team is rushing the turret at the same time. THE STPUID 3. Are you in a LAV? Are you Stupid? If no to both you should be fine, otherwise dont go near it alone unless your fast.

No need for changes IMHO until they add modules to installations like for HAVs. Installations with active reps ect will be tough to kill indeed.
Beyobi Soldiers Of One Network Orion Empire 44	Posted - 2012.12.28 17:00:00 - [26] - Quote Automatic turret fire can still suck my butthole. Put automatic fire on ALL turrets for EVERYTHING or Nothing at all. I want to play against people, not machines. ** Auto turrets. Why should I or my teammates have to change our tactics to deal with a player that does not exist? Is it fair to the other team, that my team can hack 5 turrets on a map, to leave them unattended, and essentially create a 16 vs 21 situation? No. auto turrets. Yea my forge gun can blow them up, and yea I can hide my vehicles behind cover, but I'd rather be hiding from a player and not a program. ** auto turrets.
Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion 155	Posted - 2012.12.28 20:14:00 - [27] - Quote Well since the option of hacking and taking over a turret seems unappealing, even though with the proper teamwork you're not only removing a threat but adding a portion of a map where you have increased presence, how about we totally change the game and allow players to sabotage turrets and other installations. Imagine, if you will, a friendly railgun. It sits there, perfect for the HAV you hear rolling around the corner. You run up to it, enter and ,dafuq, it starts firing at you. Thinking you must be seeing things, you run up to it and try enter it. Boom, explosion. You and the turret are now ashes in the wind. The amusement of the saboteur is great as he watches from inside his HAV.

I can't recall turrets as good as these in other FPS's. They have pretty decent AI and people want them removed?

Exactly. I've had moments like that too. Turret's may not be only the only NPC AI in PvP. Players may have access to drones don't forget (can't find link offhand).
