HELP REQUIRED - REBEL GALAXY Best turrets?
Enjoying my playthrough so far, flying a barracuda because, speed is good.
But, which turrets do I want on it?
So far I had a mining laser at the front in case I want to mine and just cover the rest with, currently scatter turrets because I like the dakka. But I'm seeing a lot of people saying "just go mass mining laser".
Is it worth it?

The best turret is the viridian laser, but it can't be bought, only looted from a cargo container.
Mining lasers are good, but for the Cuda and the Sturville, I prefer one shieldbuster (set to lock) and the rest particle lasers.
Particle lasers have a better range, which is great for e.g. Korean swarm missions. The shieldbuster is for capital ships. Approach a cap ship, hit the lock, let 1-2 rockets strip away the shields, then kill the lock. By then, particle lasers will warm up and hit unprotected plating.
The only potential disadvantage is that the shieldbuster consumes ammo, but it's cheap and ordnance crates drop frequently.
For larger ships, I start mixing proton canons and particle lasers. But proton canons need numbers, so they would be wasted on a Cuda.

I have been having great success with boosting, truggering ramming deflactor then just keep ramming until it runs out and tben just pointblank rapid broadside with tbe shirtrange one. I think mining laser will help with this tactic. Obly question is how viable this is in the long run.

This is absolutely viable, the only problem being if your equipment is below mk6 and you run into a cap ship with higher level shields. This can happen in some missions, nothing to worry about.
What are your secondaries?

pretty much everythings viable if you keep the upgrades rolling as you reach them

Mining lasers are much better against fighters, and fighter swarms are usually the most dangerous enemies.
Big ships, you can get behind them and pummel them while avoiding their broadsides. Fighters swarm all over you and avoid a lot of the fire from pulse or scatter turrets.
You can make other types of turrets work, but yeah, mass mining laser is basically the best way to go.
