The Ship Auto Turret is a turret used for protecting a Frigate from enemy starfighters, bombers, and transports. It inflicts low but steady damage to enemy craft. This ship-mounted weapon is controlled by the Auto Turret Mainframe, which if destroyed turns off all the Auto Turrets. A key strategy to win a game is to have Marines land in the enemy cruiser and destroy the Mainframe, allowing transports and bombers to get rid of ship modules and hardpoints. These weapons are also on Cruisers as Ship Repeating Blaster.
