Skallabjorns Heavy Laser Turret - 2500m Range 1x1

Description
August 20 - 1x1 footprint - new sub ID so that it can coexist with previous version!
One drawback to doing this however is that the control panel on the turret is outside the 1x1 boundary and thus is no longer accessible ( visible but not usable ), small price to pay for 1/9th the footprint size :)

*** Please do not edit my mods and repost them without permission, and in some case the permission of the original author. I take the trouble to get permission to edit and repost, you should as well. ***

This is a remake - edit of DarthBioMechs original Laser Turret Mod, which they released to general use and free editing when they stopped modding.

So , as I have been requested to do a laser only weapon mod with longer range....

Do note this turret doesn't require connection to a conveyor system, its purely energy / power / electricity driven.

I have altered the rate of fire and animations slightly, turning it into a pulsed beam laser.

I have corrected the issue where when controlling the turret you could rotate your view to under the turret.

I cleaned up the targeting overlay to be clean and clear.\

Oct 28th changed ammo box from gun clip to ammo box

July 26th - changed the color of the laser and the rate of fire slightly, this makes it more visible and to answer the OP statements of too much damage per second.

Turret motion on Idle is off by default on these now ( allows for placement as a forward fire only weapon if you turn off all the AI on the turret :) )

A "re-ballanced" 800 m max range version is here... ( can swap the mod out and not break your blueprint )

Great googly moogly, I love this mod. Best laser turret mod ever, in my opinion. Great work!

@skallabjorn i notice when i boot my server it says the turret may not act as intended due to an out of date script being used any idea if this actually effects the turret?

Is it possible to add the RGB scale to change laser colours??
