Each type can be further broken down into a set of long-ranged turrets which, broadly, deal high damage-per-shot ('volley', '[[:Category:Eve Lexicon#Alpha Strike|alpha]]') but low damage-per-second (DPS) and poor tracking, and a set of short-ranged turrets with lower alpha but high DPS and superior tracking. Hybrid turrets, for example, are either railguns (long-ranged, low DPS) or blasters (short-ranged, high DPS).

Tech 2 turrets, particularly large and medium ones, require considerable training time. The long-ranged and short-ranged varieties of Tech 2 turrets require separate skills -- returning to hybrid turrets, for example, you need [[Skills:Gunnery#Small_Blaster_Specialization|Small Blaster Specialization]] to use small T2 blasters but [[Skills:Gunnery#Small_Railgun_Specialization|Small Railgun Specialization]] to use small T2 railguns.
