UGV weaponry
Voller:
Alright let me ask again in this forum so that the right people might read it:
Do we have any models for the Tri-laser module, grenade launcher or Particle beams. If not, is anybody working on these already, or can I take a shot?

We don't have models for those, most importantly because they are not approved articles or designs. For example, we do want a UGV laser gun model, but not some kind of multi-barreled sillyness. If you can make something sensible (inspired by the current heavy laser and aircraft laser) then we'd be happy to consider it.
Other things we would like for UGVs:
UGV grenade launcher -- yes.
UGV plasma cannon -- yes.
UGV particle beam -- no.

Aww, man. Sad face, Winter, Major sad face.
Then again, that probably to do with something sensible like kick back or the ammo or something, right?
And, no multi-barrelled silliness? Wouldn't it be easier to wire three heavy lasers together instead of having to build a whole new design?
At-least duel, maybe?

Many times no. It's a laser, not a machine gun; given the physics of atmospheric blooming, one stronger beam is always far more powerful and longer-ranged than multiple lesser beams. You multiply the number of beams travelling through the air, you multiply the immense loss of power over distance caused by blooming. I could come up with other reasons why a multibarrel laser wouldn't make sense but the blooming problem pretty much shuts the idea down by itself.

I have a whole bunch of turrets modeled for different ships and stuff. Mayhpas we can use some of them?
Here are some zipped images with some of the guns/turrets.
