That's a very cool thing there. The covenant turret sucks indeed, but this thing kicks ass.

is this like the covenent turret? if so .. cuuple of suggestions :)

1) Give it a more substantial base to rotate on...
2) if it fires rockets will they be covered? or open launch tubes... if open launch tubes, then model the rockets inside their tubes :) the polycount looks pretty low so i dont se why not...
3) make the controls a tad bigger :)

just a few minor suggestions...

whats the polycount so far?
