Repairing/buying turrets
Where can one go to buy or repair a turret? Ive gone to many stations and planets but none lets you do this. 2 or3 of my turrets were destroyed and now on the weapons screen are labeled "destroyed_blank". My ship is a Kierkegaard.

Re: Repairing/buying turrets
I am pretty new to VS, but I can tell you this... the best way to repair those turrets is to dock with Bryan334's stealth Superfortress. AKA by editing your save game. That's really the best, and perhaps only, way to fix them. Even if you found a dock that would sell them, you can't install them, because the actual gun part turretpdlonggun isn't what's trying to be replaced but the whole turret, mount and all. It's a Catch-22 of Yossarian proportions. To say it's buggy is one thing, but to say it's incomplete is probably more accurate.
It's up to you how much you cheat (I mean hey, you got a Kier, that could be many hours of work, or 30 seconds editing, right?) but your best bet is to vi that savegame and replace destroyed_blank with turretpdlong or turretbeam as the case may be. If you really want to feel honest about the procedure, subtract a few hundred thousand from your bank roll.

And a bit of history to go with it the ship was added because it was so kool but then it's component parts where not even the ammo that the turrets use can't be purchased so once one runs out you can't reload.
Enjoy the Choice

Re: Repairing/buying turrets
So the Peacekeepers finally manage to find a ship bigger and faster and more bad-ass than a Leviathan, attempt to board, lose thousands of troops in the battle with on-board defenses, and now have the most badass weaponry in the galaxy... only problem is, it's one-of-a-kind, and the Builders are gone, and you can't find fuel or ammunition or spare parts... and all the remaining ammo was used up by the ship protecting itself while you boarded. Whoopsie!
I knew there was a reason I was drawn to this game. That is funny! :^)
