ccmads has integrated some parts into his/her mod, but other parts probably won't be.



These are my personal tweaks to make placeable turrets into balanced (WIP), tactical mounted weapons.


The goal is to be able to play through the game as a scientist/engineer with nothing but turrets.

I've been having a lot of fun with this, so I thought I'd share it.
