==Capital Ship Turrets==

Capital ship turrets have fewer variations than subcapital turrets, however the distinction between their variations is much more significant. Extra-large guns have two sizes of short ~~range~~ turrets~~, referred to~~ as 'capital' and 'high-angle'. 'Capital' guns are extremely large short-ranged weapons capable of the highest damage output of any ship-mounted turrets, however their size makes them unable to effectively hit any targets smaller than hostile dreadnoughts. They cannot be used against subcapital ships without significant support ~~(such as Target Painters, and the Stasis Webifiers of a Vindicator)~~. 'High-Angle Weapons' or '''HAW'''s are visibly (and by name) comprised of multiple battleship-sized guns mounted as a single turret. HAW gun turrets deal only a fraction of the damage of capital guns, however their tracking is high enough that they can reliably hit hostile subcapital ships even without significant support. HAW gun turrets can only be used by [[Dreadnoughts]], and cannot be used at all by [[Titans]].

Capital ship turrets have fewer variations than subcapital turrets, however the distinction between their variations is much more significant. Extra-large guns have one size of long ranged turrets, and have two sizes of short ranged turrets. The two short ranged turrets are further classified as 'capital' and 'high-angle'.

Capital long ranged turrets only exist in anticapital sizes, and are not designed for use against subcapital ships.

There is only one capital ship-sized Entropic Disintegrator. It is an anticapital weapon, and like other disintegrators it operates somewhere between the traditional definitions of short and long-ranged.
