I've had to find that cover and fight from there.
Should be? IIRC?

I have stood in between the Barracks on the Nightstar side and been shot by 2 turrets. Once I die, more and more people on the team start getting shot by the turrets. They die and still others get shot.

Use corners.
What corners? I have been repeatedly shot standing in between the barracks, up against the walls of the barracks, in front of the barracks, on the side of the barracks, behind the barracks. Even if I am not getting shot, other people in my league are. How do I get 10-12 people in a safe spot while still fighting Nightstar AND while not moving her from her spawn point?

When you do this do people die a lot? Are you using a healing bubble? I have tried positioning and using the buildings, that has always failed, people are still getting obliterated by the turrets. However, I have not stuck it out after 6 or so deaths. Maybe the turrets get bored after a bit?

Inbetween the Barracks, when you're facing SW, about halfway along, there are a couple of small buttresses in the wall. Stand in and around there and you're pretty much safe from the wall guns IME.

Stand too far to the NW and you get shot by the gun to the E/SE, but in the lee of the SE wall, you're pretty much safe in my experience.

If that doesn't work for you, then I'm afraid you're in the realms of having to experiment and find safe locations for yourself by trial (ho HO!... pun not intended) and error.

I work mainly from sound. If I can hear the 'Bong thwuck Bong thwuck Bong thwuck' sound effect LOUD then it means I'm getting shot and need to move.

LOL!

Yeah, me too, on a tank it's hard to pick out the tower shots from the rest of the carnage sometimes.

And yeah, I'm rapidly learning to hate that noise.

Hmmm. I know when I am not playing near the AV fight I can hear the sound loud and clear, but not so much when I am in the midst of the AV battle.

So you can try to rotate who gets shot by the guns... Hmmm. The guns usually kill faster than most people can react, but I can try to tell people to hide if they get targeted by a gun. I am concerned about how Nightstar will react if the tanker who currently has aggro starts getting basted. Can't let her move around much. I find it hard to believe all of these people runnning these all badge all the time BAFs actually have people constantly hopping away from the AV battles in order to tuck into the hiding spots and then when the guns start shooting someone else they pop back out and someone else runs into the hiding spot. Is that what people are doing?

I will be trying the ducking and hiding method a little bit over the next few days and will let you know how it works for me. Any other methods people are using to avoid/survive the withering turret fire while fighting Nightstar at her spawn point?
