+ Ethaerium Enriched + Use of Normal Grade Ethaerium Gas even in the through the firing process helps give this iteration Turbolaser a hefty punch above the standard starship turbolaser even in the Light classification. Additional internal systems in the Medium and Heavy variants provide more cohesive bolts for added punch.
+ Tracking Targets + The Light Variant of this system makes for capable defensive weaponry given the ease the turret is able to rotate and track.
+ Reach + The range on this weapon system grows with each step jump in classification by means of additional internal systems to provide additional bolt cohesion across longer range.
- Ethaerium Infused - Due to the use of Ethaerium Gas for the firing process, should a turret be destroyed, there is a high chance that the Ethaerium gas inside the turret and feed line will retroactive explode. With potential for further damage than simply just the turret being affected.
- At A Clip - The Infusion of Ethaerium into the firing process requires a careful metering to remove the chance for catastrophic failures. Drawing from the reserve and into dedicated staging containers rather than allowing for a continuous flow is the stop gap taken to prevent said failure. It does not remove the danger as it can ignite the whole line during the refueling process.
- Sluggish - While the damage output of this system is nothing to shy away from, the immense draw for power and Ethaerium infusion drag the rate of fire down.
A simple design, the expansion of the Priddy catalog would not be complete without a delve into the turbolaser section. Using a variety of turbolaser turrets as a point of reference for the design, the focus was to keep the damage output as high as possible while bringing the weapon system as a whole down to scaling levels. While the objective was achieved, there was a strange balance between rate of fire and ammunition capacity that they had not expected to achieve. While not comparable to dedicated military designs, the need to draw reserve gas into the sealed staging containers was paired with the rather relaxed rate of fire. A tradeoff given that the system would not regularly cease firing to refuel aside from a potential loss of a container.
It does present a potential danger should the containers be damaged, especially during a refuel process.
Another bonus given the scaling procedures was the added internal systems with each jump. Aside from a slight uptick in bolt output, it also provided far better magnetic shielding and extended the range as the weapon scaled up.
