Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This demos shows how to setup a 6-turret defense inside the base on
Raindance.  This turret setup is effective against intruders however
some of the turrets in this setup are vulnerable and can be easily
destroyed by incoming attackers.  The turrets which are just below the
front entrance are especially vulnerable because an incoming attacker
usually drops a mortar or a grenade down the hatch before entering the
base thus they would destroy both turrets below in one shot.  Also
team members will shoot at an incoming intruder who drops down the
entrance thus themselves damaging the turrets and possibly destroying
them every time that an intruder enters the base.  The two turrets on
the lower level are positioned very close to each other and a single
mortar that would happen to fall there would destroy them both.

Even though this turret setup uses 6-turrets to defend the base the
position of these turrets is not very optimal due to the fact that the
turrets are so exposed and so closely placed together.  I would
recommend that the turret setup in the Raindance Demo 2 be used
instead of this one as that setup spaces the turrets out
proportionally and does not make the turrets exposed or vulnerable to
friendly fire.

The credit for this turret setup goes to the KillaZ and Imperial Elite
tribes whom I first observed in a demo using this setup during one of
their matches.

Also, I would like to point out the fact that one of the reasons why I
recorded this demo was because I wanted to give something back to the
viewers who have viewed the Raindance Demo 3 with the 6-turrets inside
which was recorded with Tribes 1.2, which had different turret
placement rules than the current Tribes versions, and tried to
duplicate the setup in the current Tribes versions but were unable to
do so.  I feel responsible that I did not point out this fact in the
description of that demo so I recorded this demo to give them
something back.
