So, my base had a few Polaron (Graviton) V turrets designed to kill shields on circling venoms/furies. What I want to know is, would ships die quicker if I had ION RECHARGER V or ION RECHATGER I? base hads 4 Polaron V, 4 plasma torp III and 5 Plasma V

    To answer your question, it depends on the ship layout. If the ship in question has high shields but low armor Ion Recharger V will kill the ship quicker. On the other hand, if the ship has low shields but high armor Ion Recharger I will kill the ship quicker than level V.

    However, I think that Kinetic Drivers with Iridium Arrays 5 will do MUCH better than Graviton turrets because of the much higher damage (level V does about 800 damage per shot) while the projectile speed is only a bit slower than the Graviton turrets.

    It really depends on the shield more than the amount. Shields have a lower HP/mass than armor, but with the 1/2 damage taken to proper weapon specialization the shields will have higher HP/mass than armor. So if you are shooting at a shield that is the right kind you'll want to try and get through it as much as possible. But if you are shooting at a shield that is the wrong kind, just blast it down and take the whole thing out. Most ships are not built so stupidly as to be able to die from armor loss before shield loss.

    I don't play much anymore =(

    i guess, but graviton turrets are a lot harder to dodge, as they sweerve torwards their target. Might just do a mediam and put lvl 2 ION RECHARGER on them

    Well to be honest, I certainly wouldn't be trying to take out a fury with Gravitons.  With the new specs that we have for CMs, Sweep Launchers for the base would probably do a lot better in fighting ****, that and Iridium Magnets for the base.  My opinion is my own, and you can use them if you wish.  I just think that they are not a very good idea to have.

    And you're not even high enough in level to even be engaged by a Fury (your stats say you are a 27).
