When we get large cargo ships defense of that ship is going to be an issue. Chances are it is going to be a very slow, very unmanuverable flying hunk of metal. So I thought that being able to drop defense turrets that would orbit your ship and fire on command would be the best possible option for those who cant afford a human escort. Defense turrets would be a little smaller than the ones we have at our stations and would orbit the ship untill the ship A) exits the system at which point the turret self destructs to (hopefully) finish off any pirate chasing it or B) when the ship boosts away (for balance reasons because unmaned turrets should not move as fast as ships).

Ooo... Kinda like the ones on Andromeda... Anyone know what happened to that show?

Will shoot down missles? Rockets? We need a defensive weapon that shoots down junk like that. I'm hopeing for something like the turrets on the frigate, it would require a new weapon slot though.

*cough* Laptop gun *cough*

I loved that gun! It rocked!

/me loves Perfect Dark... Ooo... Slayer... *drool*
