what is: a wagon with a slot to put any type of turret

why use: a artillery wagon can attack the nests, but this wagon can defend the train.

how should work?: imagine a wagon with a turret wagon with a slot to turret and other to munition in inventory. Depending of the type of turret, the munition should accept different types of munition. For example: gun turrets use magazines, flame turrets use fluid barrels, laser turrets use accumulators...

I will say that both of those topics are pre-artillery wagon.

Then, a turret on a train seems like...an ok? Idea. Would be cool to have a constant train looping around your base, shooting biters.

But now that we have the artillery, i believe we shouldn't add turret wagons for a different reason.

The balance of the artillery, is we can attack bases from ludicrous distances, with the downside of a glass cannon. Its defenceless. Once you add turrets to it, you have an unstoppable force with little thought behind it.

Engine, turret, artillery, turret, engine.

Congrats, you have a vehicle that can render all biters in range of the track defenceless with little planning or concequence.

I believe there was some discussion about this in the roadmap topic in the speculation about the artillery wagon.
