I think that crafters should be able to craft themselves turrets. They would work very similar to containers: You can put them only in tents/bases.
They would be companion-like "creatures", with some changes:
- Their only purpose would be base/tent defence against unwanted visitors.
- They can't move. The only way you can move them is to put them in your inventory and take them on other hex. It would work just like placing containers.
- They need "fuel" (MFC or SEC, like cars) to be active. If they run out of the fuel, they become inactive and they do not defend your base/tent. You can put the fuel in their inventory, so they recharge themselves.
- You (obviously) need to give them ammo and weapons
