Maybe I am just missing it, but on the Level Up page, for Engineer under Talent, for the Sentry Turret Talent, the details state things like "Includes Improved Tortoise Plating". Is there an in-game explanation of the mechanical effects of that, and other improvements for the Sentry Turret talents on the Talent page? If not, maybe there should be. E.g. maybe it could say "Includes Improved Tortoise Plating (+2 HP)".

E.g. maybe it could say "Includes Improved Tortoise Plating (+2 HP)". you can find out what effect this stuff has...but only after you've bought it and deployed in combat. Selecting the turret and pressing it's 'portrait' brings up a summary, pressing 'Equiptment' (I think it's called that) button will show you the plating and gun used. The level of turret will determine what level of burst fire and overwatch is used - so a level 4 turret uses BF4 and OW4. This isn't really ideal but as you have unlimited free respec, you could kit out an engineer with various levels of the deploy turret talent to find all the values, unless someone has already documented these. Cory Trese it would be nice to show them like wargear in the req tree, although that may make it confusing for users wondering how to 'equip' a turret. |

Then click the Load Out button to see its weapon and armor. bookworm21 - thanks for the quick response!  Beat me to it! |

Thank you; will do, and bookworm's suggestion regarding scenario scumming to determine what the different level modifiers do is a decent work around. That said, I will add a suggestion-- if there's a way this information could be communicated to the player before the player buys the bonus, that would be ideal. As it is, this is perhaps the only talent type that states what something is but does not state the mechanical effect that the item possesses. |

Cory Trese it would be nice to show them like wargear in the req tree, although that may make it confusing for users wondering how to 'equip' a turret. We tried that pre-alpha but it was way too confusing to our early testing crews. We will consider ways to meet this request without breaking the consistency of the tech tree's listing. |

What about a few entries in the library for standard turret's loadout, flame turret's loadout etc?

I've added this to the list of library pages we could add in the futrue.
