Presenting .... for the Blue Phantom Project ...

The Dhilani Hexa-Turret!
The primary defense installation of the Dhilani homeworld, Dhilon

The base is covered with a semi-mineral-semi-organic mass, which covers most of Dhilon's surface, making the turret harder to spot from above.

I'm not sure if alien phialics are against the rules.

Nice, but how does it aim upwards?

And Kirby, what the hell?

The mushroom part can be lifted and lowered as well as the gun pad as well. The base of the barrels is by far not as stiff as it looks, as the technology is semi-organic. Also, the barrels can be retracted so the whole turret can be retracted into the ground.

Does it spin superfast in order to concentrate its fire in one direction?

At the moment it does ingame, but that's a bug. The purpose is to have it able to fire in multiple directions at the same time, making it an effective weapon against multiple enemies.

Except for the fact that it would be useless in that respect, since only the platform rotates, the guns themselves are unmovable.

The guns are movable, to a slight degree. The entire Dhilani architecture and technology is semi-organic, allowing partially elastic and bendable constructions(where necessary)

In theory that is - ingame of course only the entire pad will rotate, however, the hardpoints will allow the weapons to firre in a ccertain arc(170-180 degree).]
