Well i think quad just does more damage to one target, so 4 individual ones could destroy puny weak missiles 4 times as fast (mesons go through armor)
Of course I'm not entirely sure about turrets so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Like I said, you are using only 1 Fire Control for all 4 of the turrets. That means you can only aim at
1 ship anyways. If you had 4 Fire Controls for each one of your 4 turrets, then yea, 4 turrets is fine.
Your Meson Turret also has a RoF of 5 seconds. The shortest game time passing is 5 seconds... I'll call it a
Turn for illustration.
With 1 FC and 4 Single Turret, you can only aim and fire at 1 enemy ship per
Turn. A Quad would be better in this case.
With 2 FC and 4 Single Turret, you can aim and fire at 2 different enemy ships per
Turn. 2 Dual would be ideal for this case.
With 4 FC and 4 Single Turret, you can aim and fire at 4 different enemy ships per
Turn. 4 Singles would be ideal for this case.
With a RoF-5(5 seconds), it reloads per
Turn, 4 single Meson Turrets don't matter. A Quad is better in this case for saving room.
With a RoF-10(10 seconds), it reloads per 2
Turns. 4 single Meson Turrets or 2 Dual would give you a better chance of shooting every
Turn.
Use the Quad turret.

I just found out that ignoring the gravity settings at the beginning of the game. That combined with mars having no minerals......I want to restart but I finally got all my ships planned out....dam
You can get into SM mode and change the gravity settings(Ctrl+F2) and give Mars minerals(F9) among other things...
