Top Grade Ethaerium Use of Top Grade Ethaerium gas, further refines a high grade weapon system. The damage output reached beyond expected potentials in lab tests.
Additional Spin Cycles Through the use of additional Magnetic Accelerator coils, the range and integrity of each bolt is tightly wound for extended range and cohesive energy output over extended ranges than the previous iteration.
Reduced Spin Times With additional Magnetic Accelerator coils, it was found the next shot could begin winding through the same coil with less energy consumption and provide faster rate of fire as a side effect.
Additional Point Defense An optional addition, the smaller turrets of the Dual Point Defense Turrets can fit atop the turrets in this line, providing excellent defense options for the weapons against pointed starfighter or missile based attacks.
Top Grade Ethaerium Due to the use of Top Grade Ethaerium Gas in the fuel blend, should a turret be destroyed, there is a high chance that the gas blend inside the turret and feed line will retroactively explode. With potential for further damage than simply just the turret being affected.
The Dukes While a devastating weapon against larger ships, the target acquisition capabilities of these weapons is relatively limited in speed, and makes them a very poor choice against smaller targets such as starfighters.
Energy Giant While bringing an astounding punch to the fight, the sheer amount of heat produced by this weapons system would make even civilian grade scanners light up with ease as a large heat source alone.
Announcement Being that the energy projectiles are hyper dense energy pockets contained within a magnetic sheath, only the first strike will be a surprise. And while capable of long range engagements to better hide their initial location, continuing volleys will easily pinpoint the location of the vessel wielding these weapons with scans directed to weapon energy signatures.
Point Defense When added at production, the typical fuel weakness alongside the point defense turret becomes an additional risk, the smaller point defense turrets are also capable of additional catastrophic explosions atop the turret if they are destroyed in lieu of the main turret. Potentially disabling the weapon below or its systems and lessening the offensive capabilities of the weapon.
Another revisit of her Heavy Turbolaser design, citing a need to provide a dedicated product for vessels flying under the direct command of the Priddy General Engineering And Manufacturing to protect their assets and affiliates.
Dedicating a heavier focus on extending the battle lines and reaching beyond the usual point of conflict to limit their own casualties in an engagement, the magnetic focus has been tightened to form a more cohesive energy discharge to prolong travel time. Further focus on this production has not only extended the range of these turbolasers but also shortened the spooling time of shots through the ability to spin up successive fire as it passes through the focusing elements.
While a boon to the fire rate and range, it does cause issues in regard to requiring dedicated cooling systems to extend the life expectancy of the weapon emplacements and barrels.
The requirement merely a sidestep for PGEM in their aim at providing the company with a means to protect itself, its assets, and their affiliates.
