Turrets are the basic weapon used by spacecraft and Military Gaurd Towers. They are capable of dealing with small threats alone, or large unshielded spaceships enmasse.
Unlike the Weapon Bay, turrets can target hostile creatures and vehicles. So they are very useful when assaulting cities as troops can fire at defenders from relative safety in the sky. However the limited range and power of the turrets limit their ability to engage spaceships or heavily armored targets.
Turret damage and range does improve with TL, as well as the TL of the ammo used.
