*energy turrets (lasers)

Each type can be further broken down into a set of long-ranged turrets which, broadly, deal high damage-per-shot ('volley', '[[~~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).

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.

Note that one of the kinds of large (battleship-sized) autocannon is called 'repeating artillery'. These are nevertheless classified as autocannons.

Of all the kinds of long-ranged turret in the game, artillery turrets tend to have the best [[~~:Category:Eve Lexicon#~~Alpha ~~Strike~~|alpha strike]]. Autocannon, and to a lesser extent artillery, have very long [[Gunnery Guide#Range|falloff]] ranges and short optimal ranges, and it's more viable to use projectile turrets in their first falloff range than it is to use lasers or hybrids in their falloff.

Most Minmatar ships use projectile turrets as their main weapon. The low slot Gyrostabilizer module increases projectile turrets' damage and rate of fire.
