As you can see the turret is to fire 3 shots shotrly after another - however I want it not to fire them on the same straight line (as they do now), so the three shots form a random triangle (so some shots might even miss a small target, makeing it less effective against subsystems and cruisers)

all ideas are welcome...

Make it a burst weapon rather than swarm, then give it a fof.

That'll do the trick perfectly.

Re: Help with blob-turret gun needed
Just giving it a FOF would be enough if you want compatibility with older builds.
