So, after the new turret models were introduced, I got in my Rifter, and something was amiss. The third turret slot had the right turret on top, and the left turret on bottom. This was strange. And looked unbalanced.

The rifter is, in all ways, a symmetrical ship, and with the old turret models, so were the turrets. It had the same turret placement as the Jaguar.

I propose the number 3 turret slot on the Rifter is changed, so that either both guns are on top, or on bottom. As it is now, the lines of the ship are spoiled.

The turrets have to be on opposite sides of the ship otherwise they won't be able to cover all directions.

There are already 5 turrets that can cover the top and bottom, and at least three turrets on either side. Even if the turrets are brought back to their original layout the coverage won't change. There wasn't any blind spot before the new turret models. Why would a blind spot suddenly develop now?

So then why bother with this topic if the new look caused no ISSUE?

Pure aesthetics.... srsly

Play around with turret placement in the high slots. I've found some very aesthetically pleasing setups doing this.

How did you Veterans start?

Exactly, so with the Rifter instead of just on 1/2/3, you could do 1/2/4, 1/3/4, or 2/3/4. Each specific slot corresponds to actual hardpoints on the ship

Rifters do look goofy. The guns are too big for them.

Also, I've heard that if you fit cruiser guns on a rifter, they look absolutely lol-tastic.
