Description
A new laser turret I made this evening. This will replace the Bulwark laser turret I posted previously as part of the defensive package installed aboard Essex Class ships. Basically, I decided to go with something a lot simpler, particularly considering the job it's doing and how similar laser based missile defense systems are already being tested. So since it's not a weapon designed to cut though a ships armored hull, it doesn't need to be a large intimidating looking weapon. Plus I like the idea of basing it on something that actually exists, which is a major theme behind the UN design style.
