Mounted turret firing 17mm bolts with a higher capacity or more rounds per burst? Compared to the 23mm heavy bolter.

Was thinking of a mounted stormbolter...

I'd like to suggest a weight reduction for the mortar(s). A vanilla mortar weighs in at 30kg, the Syrbotas is a whopping 50x as heavy, making it hugely impractical for actual siege work. Its sheer material cost, the power requirement and the extremely slow rate of fire should be more than enough to balance it out.

That's a good point, I will do some testing to figure out the optimal weight value

Would you consider reworking the turret's construction times, AKA work to build? The Volkhv Tarantula for instance isn't that much more powerful than a vanilla miniturret, but it takes more than 30x longer to build, and it's already much more expensive in terms of resources. Considering it fires 6x as many shots with the same per-shot damage, I think a 3-4x work multiplier should be more appropriate. In the same vein, maybe dial down the Grendel Tarantula to 200 work instead of 1500. Much obliged :-).

If I recall correctly, the amount of work required to build the Volkhv turret is twice the amount for making a single Volkhv (it uses two) plus some extra, which made sense at the time. I will take a look at both the gun and the turret and see if they need some balancing. High amounts of work required are due to the complexity (and impracticality) of Vagar weapons, but in this case it could be toned down. As for the Grendel turret, does it really take 1500 work right now? That sounds lower than what it should be... I am not around my PC right now, but once I am back from vacation I will look into it.

The Grendel Tarantula takes 90,000 ticks to build, or 1,500 work in-game. Thanks for looking into it in any case :-).

Ah, that makes sense!
