I wanted to share my little investigation..
I was recently discovering the best setup for Gorgon Vanguard as a patrol ship.
As we all probably know, Gorgons are excellent as with their top firing 4 turrets, and they are amazing on Carriers as you can have 16 extra turrets with 4 Gorgons landed.
But I wondered, which turrets are the best for the patrol tasks?
I built 4 Gorgons, gave them 4* captains, best combat equipment, main weapons 2x Bolt Repeater Mk2 and for turrets I setup each differently:
- 4 beam turrets
- 4 pulse turrets
- 4 plasma turrets
- 4 bolt turrets
(Turrets set to "Attack my enemy")
I took them to the busy xenon sectors and gave them similar medium targets (P or Mining Ship S or Distribution xy)
Plasma turrets gorgon was winner every time.
While other 3 were hunting the xenon across the sector and doing slow damage over the time, plasma Gorgon was killing them like flies..
Do you have similar experience?
I wonder would plasma Gorgons be better for patrol tasks than Nemesis with 5 Mk2 bolt repeaters ? Need to compare them.

Re: Best turrets for Gorgon Vanguard
Plasma are surprisingly effective against M sized ships. But they are not effective in any way against S, that´s where all the other turrets will shine. So best to use a mix of turrets.
Insanity is just another form of brilliance!

OOS = Plasma best
not OOS = Plasma worst

Re: Best turrets for Gorgon Vanguard
Shard turrets are somewhat stable in both OOS and non-OOS IMO, they got slightly lower DPS compared to the Plasma, but probably can rotate quicker than the Plasma; and because the Shard turret fires like a shotgun, it has a higher chance to hit targets.
The future awaits.
