Never be stuck wishing your turrets could fire just one more shot. Huge Turret Arsenal - Twenty-six turrets are at the ready in the fight against the enemy, with each one filling a unique role. Try "old-time" strategies like cannons and mortars or ramp up the technology with banks of lasers and automated drones. 10 Unique Playstyles - Ten distinct executive officers bring unique combinations of turrets and support to the battlefield.
