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

| == Vorton Projectors ==
| |
| {{see also|EDENCOM}}
| |
| [[File:Icon turret vorton projector large.png|left]]'''Vorton Projectors''' are a new turret type introduced with the Lightning Strikes update in June 2020. These are ship-based miniaturized versions of the Standup Arcing Vorton Projector, previously seen as the 'Doomsday Weapon' of [[Upwell structures#Citadels|Keepstar Citadels]].
| |
|
| |
| Vorton Projectors are unlike any other turret, in that they fire chain lightning which strikes the ship which is targeted, and arcs across up to nine additional random ships (or drones) within 10km of the first. Vorton Projectors consume Condenser Packs as ammunition, and deal EM and Kinetic damage. They deal very low single target DPS compared to other turrets, owing to a low rate of fire (in between beam lasers and artillery) and low turret damage multiplier (without the damage spooling bonus that disintegrators get). However, the projectors have excellent optimal range, exceeding that of beam lasers, and can deal high ''total'' damage spread across the ten ships which are hit.
| |
|
| |
| Following the trend started by Entropic Disintegrators, Vorton Projectors are further detached from traditional turret mechanics. Much like disintegrators, the projectors have no falloff, are only fittable to specific ships ([[EDENCOM]] ships), and said ships only have one turret slot. However, unlike any other turret in the game, Vorton Projectors use [[Missile damage|Missile damage mechanics]] rather than Tracking or Falloff range. Even core gunnery skills do not affect Vorton Projectors, with this set of weapons instead having its own equivalents for {{sk|Gunnery|icon=yes}} (-cycle time), {{sk|Sharpshooter|icon=yes}} (+optimal range), {{sk|Surgical Strike|icon=yes}} (+damage), and a skill combining {{sk|Target Navigation Prediction|icon=yes}} (+explosion velocity) with {{sk|Guided Missile Precision|icon=yes}} (-explosion radius). Lastly, modules and boosters that improve optimal range, explosion radius, or explosion velocity have no effect, and [[Wormhole space#System Effects|Wormhole system effects]] also do not apply to these weapons' damage or application.
| |
|
| |
| In areas of space where [[crimewatch]] is in effect, the projectors will respect safety settings, and with full safeties enabled will only bounce to legal targets. As a consequence, however, bounces from this weapon can initiate Limited Engagements with suspects and outlaws, even if they were not targeted.
| |
|
| |
| === Condenser packs ===
| |
| Condenser packs, similar to exotic plasma, deal more damage per charge, since each ship only has one turret and with projectors having a low damage multiplier. For the same reason, damage scaling with increasing size is not smooth, due to number of turrets the projector effectively substitutes for.
| |
|
| |
| There are four types of Tech 1 condenser packs, offering two range options and an EM or Kinetic slanted ammo type for each.

| '''Tech 2 condenser packs'''
| |
|
| |
| Marketed under the '''Ultra''' brand, T2 condenser packs can only be used with Tech 2 and Faction Vorton Projectors. ElectroPunch Ultra is a higher damage, shorter range ammo compared to BlastShot & GalvaSurge, while SnipeStrike exceeds MesmerFlux and SlamBolt in range and damage. Both types of ultra condenser packs increase capacitor need by 25% and reduce explosion velocity by 25%.

| ==== Vorton Projector Skills ====
| |
|
| |
| With the exception of Advanced/Weapons Upgrades, Vorton Projectors do not benefit from any of the traditional gunnery skills listed above. Instead, it has its own set of skills. Most are analogues to normal gunnery skills.
| |
|
| |
| * {{Sk|Vorton Projector Operation}}: Reduces cycle time by 2% per level (Gunnery equivalent)
| |
| * {{Sk|Vorton Arc Guidance}}: Reduces explosion radius by 5% per level, and increases explosion velocity by 10% per level. This skill is the only way to improve the application of Vorton Projectors.
| |
| * {{Sk|Vorton Arc Extension}}: 5% to optimal range per level (Sharpshooter equivalent)
| |
| * {{Sk|Vorton Power Amplification}}: 3% to turret damage per level (Surgical Strike equivalent)
