== Overview ==

Functional as of [[Change Log|version 01.027.006]], the interior turret is an automatic [[weapon]] which will target and fire upon the nearest hostile block, [[Decoy]], moving object, [[Meteor Storms|meteor]], or any other specified target within its operational range (adjustable via its control panel), and will always fire on enemy factions' ships and players in range. In [[Survival Mode]] it must be loaded with [[5.56x45mm_NATO_Magazine]]s to fire, or if while in [[Creative Mode]] it has unlimited ammunition..

The Interior Turret is an automatic [[weapon]] that will target and fire upon a variety of targets. Which targets it will fire upon depend on how the control panel settings have been configured, with the options being: [[decoy]]s, [[Meteor Storms|meteors]], enemy faction players, enemy faction ships, and anything that moves (be careful with this option). It will only engage these targets if it is within its maximum engagement range, which is another control panel setting.  It can also be controlled manually via a button on the control panel. All of these options can alternatively be accessed by adding them to the toolbar, or via [[Button Panel|buttons]], [[Timer Block|timers]], and/or [[Programmable Block|programming]].

The turret take the space of a single cube despite its appearance. The turret has its own internal inventory, but they can also be connected to [[Conveyor]] blocks on the bottom to supply [[5.56x45mm_NATO_Magazine]]s from any connected inventory.

Whilst it is presumably intended to be an anti-personnel weapon for the rooms and corridors of a ship, it is functionally identical to the [[Gatling Turret]], with the only unique feature being that it is considerably smaller (and less powerful). Hence, it works perfectly well as an alternative in situations where a full-size turret won't fit, or if you cannot afford the resources in [[Survival Mode]].

The interior turret does very minimal, but consistent damage. It is far less powerful than the [[Gatling Turret]]. but uses much less ammo per second.

Players are able to take control of any automated turret by sitting at either a [[Control Station]], [[Flight Seat]], [[Cockpit]], [[Fighter Cockpit]], or [[Passenger Seat]].

The player can move, zoom, and shoot with the turret while in this mode.
