Should turrets fire at the end of their cicle?

Wouldn't make much of a different for most of the turrets but would nerf arties to some extent.

And why exactly do arties need to be nerfed?

He just doesn't want is gank arti's to miss their shot because Concord destroyed him while he was waiting for the turrets to fire lol

Who me? I've never suicide ganked anyone, I'm not against suicide ganking, I've just never really been all that interested in doing it.

Still would like to see the justification for this idea, I'm guessing the OP got suicided ?

Making missileboats viable in fleet of gunboats? Aside from that, it would also make it so that 1400s aren't standard issue on blob Abaddons. Both have merit, actually. So does making suicide ganking harder - it wasn't as easy as it is before projectile changes.

I wasn't really thinking about suicide ganking when posting this. Goose99 has good points. It would also allow smaller ships to gain some transversal instead of getting insta killed; after de-cloaking on a gate for example.

You're invulnerable to attack upon landing out of warp, same as if you undock or cyno in. There is also lag, you get basically a 1-2s head start on anyone trying to attack you. Most frigs can warp off before anyone can even start to lock them. And finally this would make arty completely useless. You can't seriously expect someone to wait 15s to fire their first shot. It would change arty from reasonably well balanced vs beams/rails to being horribly underpowered.

As for arty abaddons in null, that's a response to logi making ships basically invulnerable to attack in large numbers. It's not a balance problem, it's a player problem. Stop bringing so many guys you risk crashing the node and suddenly arty abaddons are far less appealing than megapulse abaddons.Roll

No, it means they'd use a different weapon type. Blasters maybe?
