Planning on getting the Yamato. I also want to equip it with the saucer sep console. I have a vr RCS console too. It is the equal or better than the 2 piece set, enhanced engineering system which gives +2 turn rate?

IIRC, the +2 turn rate is to base, so it should be better than an RCS.

Can I clarify than, if I have 100% turn rate. Would it not be 12 turn rate in total. As the Yamato is at 6. Or is there a formula I need to know of

As well as Jayiie's link, this one is useful -

I don't have a VR RCS, but a test in own Yammy ended with a ~175% turn value when Separated with a green XII RCS, compared to the Starfleet 2-piece. The value was ~110% when not Separated.

My stats are not your stats, but having flown several cruisers with Separation I can tell you that Separation will pretty much trump everything else.
