Agreed, but I'm not sure what the point is. There's only so much you can do with a turret boat since not only is there burst so bad, but also their dps. They can chip away at a target, but that's exactly what FAW is doing as well, only with multiple targets.

i wonder if a turret odessy with tetryons and max tetryon skill whatever to help their proc would make a good support healer?

I've run that layout in the past with cruisers, and both carriers with little success. All that was before season 5 however. It may be great now :-)

Drawback is only the one rapid fire. Part of he reason I think beams works so well is the variety of ensign tac options you have with them

Not as good as a faw using polarized tet ship

FAW'd out Beamboat Oddys are great healers... as evidence by Era :p
