Intent: To create a defense turret that can be deployed to help defend key areas and people
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Hekler'Kok Defense Industries
Model: Collapsible Defense Turret CDT-1
Affiliation: Independent
Modularity: Shield Sizes Vary For Different Species
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Plasteel
Description: Designed by Hekler'Kok to allow a squad to deploy a few of these turrets to triple their firepower and provide cover for the squad if needed. The weapon system relies on a advanced IFF system,that locks onto a target if they aren't wearing a specialized tag that and kills the target. While this weapon is not small by any means,it is still light enough for a single man to carry the turret and battery and then deploy it. The system has smart targeting,which allows it to detect what type of unit it is firing at and use the correct weapon to engage it. This weapon even though effective,is still considered to be bulky and the man carrying it will likely have to carry less ammo and therefore have to rely more on the turret to get things done.

1) add unit of measurement to Height
2) What sort of sensors does it have, how does it identify targets, can it tell friend from foe?
3) What type of shields (Ray, Particle, Deflector) does this use?
4) I'm tempted to make you double the size and triple the weight of this thing... but I can see the value of 'several' small turrets like this as opposed to a few large ones.
5) Please expand on the intent and description.
6) Add a power supply and a duration of use both with shields online and without shields online.

Done.

Unless the deflector shields only cover the sides of the weapon and leave the front exposed, I don't think deflector shields allow you to fire your projectile weapons while they are online.

Yeah,it projects it to the sides,allowing soldiers to take cover and for it to still shoot.

Looks good. All my issues have been addressed. Just remember it will be vulnerable to fire from the front.

Approved on my end.
