The new turret models and animations look absolutely incredible. I'm excited to see these in-game and just watch them shoot forever. 'Cause they're that cool.
However, I am a little put off by the fact that the new laser turrets show recoil when they fire. It's obviously not game-breaking and I'll live, but it is honestly a little off-putting. I suppose it would be a lot less visually appealing for them not to show recoil when all the other ones do, but I looked at it and immediately thought, wtf? It's not a big deal, but in this case I prefer realism over aesthetics. It just looks weird.
Let the trolling commence. And if there is already a thread on this, my apologies. I didn't find it.

Sorry if this thread isn't up to your standards. There are so many more worthwhile threads...like the 250 on AFK cloaking, or the 7 threads on Chinese RMT prisoners.

Maybe the energy required to focus a beam across kilometers can kick it back? Ion propulsion works this way.

I agree with OP, laser turrets shouldn't have any recoil simply because they shouldn't. I guess common sense isn't a requirement when CCP hires people.

Interesting theory, it would explain that. Of course, I'm sure CCP can explain it - they can explain anything, using real physics if it works or made-up science if real physics don't support it.
EDIT: Maybe it could be a way to vent excess heat?

Actually, if you think about it any magnetic delivery system *I.E. Railguns* wouldn't have recoil either. There are no moving parts save for the ammunition.

lasers recoil because when they fire they get shot at with a gun by a minmatar slave.
When the crystal gets hit small chips of crystal break off and emit a large beam of light (killing the slave but who the **** cares about slaves?)
This is also the very same reason T2 crystals break.
Now I hear you say but why don't T1 crystals break? well I'll explain that to you.
T1 laser crystals are special (just like me I'm special to) Whenever the slave dies the crystal soaks up his flesh and bones and regenerates the chips the slave just shot off.
Now for a beam laser they just use a sniper rifle (long range)
for pulse lasers they use a sub machine gun (not so long range but fast fire)
so yeah that's why they have a recoil.

I hadn't thought about that and I spent a few months being obsessed with railguns and their design.
In theory, only projectile turrets should have recoil, which I guess would make for rather boring animations on the other two major categories.

CCP please remove unneeded recoil because it looks stupid and it makes you look even stupider.

Im fairly certain railguns would have recoil. They impart directed kinetic energy you would get an opposite direction force.
But ya its silly to have lasers with noticeable recoil.

Or possibly that on the fanfest video the only turrets ready to be shown were projectile turrets and blasters. Just because they were strapped to an amarr ship does not mean they were lasers.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. a Railgun accelerates a projectile by applying electromagnetic force to it. There MUST be an equal and opposite reaction force, you can't escape that. Therefore, Railguns experience recoil. Anybody who claims otherwise is an idiot.
if the gun experiences recoil, then it might have a mechanism for compensating for that recoil - say, compressed-gas shock absorbers, with the barrel and loading mechanism being free-floating and able to recoil into the gas, which translates kinetic energy into heat by compressing and heating up in accordance with Boyle's Law.
Just because the railguns YOU claim to have been involved in designing don't have moving parts to handle recoil does not mean that future railguns won't need or use them.

Possible, but we don't see any gas being vented.
If anything lasers should be recoiling backwards as a means of heat dissipation.
IE the barrel should EXTEND while firing.
Suppose we put gas in the barrel. Expansion causes vaporization, immediately cooling the contents of the barrel, while the longer barrel aids in radiative cooling of the entire system.
and further more why do i even need a sig? |

Not if it's recoiling into a coolant sleeve maybe? although that would beg the question of why not just permanently sleeve the barrel and pump coolant through, rather than having the...
...okay, no. Having a laser recoil is just a triumph of "rule of cool" over reality.
and I'm okay with that, tbh.

Lasers with recoil.
Oh man, now that I've seen that I don't even care if it makes sense. That is awesome.
Also, the new maller is amazing. I'm gonna have to fly my Sac a lot more once that model goes live.
Edit: Obviously the sac, and not the maller, since the maller is ****. I wonder why they chose to remodel a hull that nobody flies. Unless they intend to revamp it stat-wise as well?

Screw the SAC, the Devoter, people actually fly that one!
I'm sick of how with max guns fitted, it's gun configuration still looks lopsided.
Also, while the maller model is tolerable, the Moa model is hideous, but the fact is, that none of the variants are useful to anybody. so that's probably why it never got fixed.
PS: Fix the Nightmare model, seriously, you release an expansion centered around Sanshas and then bork the guns models on the big battleship. I'm sick of seeing only 3 guns, I want to see the 4 of them.

Lasers with recoil.
Are you sure the guns are actually recoiling?
looks like a flare from the beam itself that fades to me

Laser turrets use pietzoelectric capacitors. So when the laser fires, hydraulics squish together the capacitor, which releases the energy spike required to generate the high powered laser burst. It just looks like recoil, but it isn't.

Are you sure there is recoil in the video? The only thing I see is a flash of light, but the turrets don't seem to move in any way. Now it might just be so subtle that I can't see it, but in the CCP's new turret video the whole gun clearly moves when it shows some turrets shooting and with others there is no recoil to be seen. I know it's a WIP, so some animations might be missing, but when it happens the recoil is obvious in that video, so it's not a huge strech of the imagination to assume it should be obvious in the new login screen, if the turrets actually had any recoil.

Originally by: lore made up on the spot
laser based weapons do not have recoil per say, when firing 2 sets of focusing crystals are moved into position for optimal focus for the target at the range.
Between firing cycles the two crystals are moved away for each other to increase the surface area and bleed away the excessive heat produce when firing laser based weapons.
there ya go, an excuse for why laser have recoil. pulled right from my butt just for the eve community.
