If your ship also has a shield module, you create a forcefield to keep parasites from entering your ship and to completely absorb ranged attacks from the creatures that inhabit aetherspace. This effect will drop whenever the turret is fired.

It will take a long time for the ship to charge, and the blast will be very strong. If you leave your turret or if your ship moves then it will interfere with the charging process. A ship can only support charging one turret at a time.
