Stress turret

By thebrettski, in X-Wing

It doesn't exist yet. The imperials have their black gloved hands all over the slot.

It's coming, right? Does BTL make it automatic imperial only? Cost? Range?

Yes it does: Nera Dantels, Deadeye, Flechette Torpedoes x2, Munitions Failsafe ... 360 stress turret.

And if you just want em to stay stressed, accuracy corrector doesn't require you to add the hits after you cancel all of yours. Woo Jank.

A turret version of flechette cannon would.. be as lackluster as flechette cannon. But I'd still be down for one if it was cheap.

I prefer the Tractor Beam turret myself. Move out of my way! (Please)

A turret slot secondary weapon that gives out stress is possible, but I expect it to be like the Flechette Cannon in that it only deals a stress if the target is unstressed.

I could see a blend between Flechette Cannon and Torpedo: deal full damage (Torp), but only add stress if unstressed (Cannon). Alternatively, the reverse: deal 1 damage (Cannon), but stress anything with <5 Hull hit or not (Torp).

Possibly, though like the OP suggested, I would be worried about the later option on the stress hog.

I made a stress turret for the CCL. My expansion was voted down so it didn't make it. Here it is.

F-Z0-Antipersonnel-Blaster-Cannon-Turret

I wanted to represent that a antipersonnel weapon wouldn't do much more than scare a pilot. Therefore, no damage, but potential for stress.
