Mobile-Multirole-Turret

Description
A new multi role varient of the mobile turret with a rocket turret replacing one of the gatlings. Slightly less useful for swatting drones out of the sky, but slightly more useful for base sieges and assaults.

Armed with both a rocket and gatling turret, this vessel offers double the firepower. Though it is drivable, it is not intended to head straight into a dangerous situation. Much like an old SPAAA or Tank Destroyer, it has only light armor, an exposed cockpit, and somewhat poor mobility. Its only protection is the combined firepower from it's two different turrets. Having only one gatling, its less effective against packs of drones. It should still fair well against both drones, and ground targets like bases and vessels provided the location of deployment is chosen wisely. Its main role is dynamic defense, or offensive deployment outside of hotzones to act as support for main assualts. It could also double as mobile support for combined assualts or place and forget area denial devices. All engines and thrusters have been grouped for easy activation and deactivation. With all engines off, it's fuel effeciency allows it to stay active for prolonged periods of time hampered maybe only by ammo. If needed, you could also scrap the steel walls on the sides and place a few forward mounted gatling guns for direct fire capabilities. That modification may be slightly more effective and practical for this varient than the other.

If you go gung ho into POIs with a rocket launcher like i do, it may pay to have one of these covering your advance and or retreat.
