Blockade Turret

[EDIT]

This defence system only works with centralised resources enabled! As such it will not work in most campaigns!



*This fortress uses the new advanced cannon system*

This is my first design uploaded to the workshop, I hope you like it!

The Blockade Turret is designed to be spawned into the campaign at a border with any faction in groups of AT LEAST 2 (Due to its repairing capabilities), and to be scrapped once that border expands. Due to it being a fortress, I would not recommend giving it orders to move territory, as that would take excrutiatingly long with a top speed of 3 m/s.
It comes armed with a singular turret that fires 6 bullets (each doing around 800 explosive damage at 250m/s) in bursts.
It also has shield projectors (that have been given color changers for prettyness) and slopes to help it deflect incoming shots.

Anyone that has gotten into the late campaign knows how annoying it is to have your forces spread out, leaving you with fewer resources for your attacking forces.
Thats where the "Blockade" comes in. While it itself only costs about 60 thousand metal, a group of them can fend off most any attacker (apart from fast moving flying enemies, in the case you are fighting a mostly airborne faction, add a few AA capable vehicles to the blockade unit. I will be uploading an AA fortress myself soon).
EDIT: The blockade unit, on further testing, actually deals well with targets going under 120 m/s!

PS: It also goes along well as a support vessel for structures and fortresses

PSS: A group of 3, costing <185k metal, can take out a bulwark, which costs > 1million metal! Additionally, a group of 5 can defeat ANY godly designs, even flying ones!

PSSS:
I painted the craft with 3 color regions:
Orange: Fleet main
White: Fleet secondary
Yellow:Fleet trim
