Use a Frequency Nullifier then, turrets don't matter.
The
lightning gun ARC12 outranges them as well.
Or you could stack titanium plates or nanodoc gloves, the armor/healing will make you nearly invulnerable to them.
If they're clustered together, you can use the ringer coil to kill them all at once.
You can also bring your own turrets and use them to help you kill their turrets.
You could also just use the device disabler or flash grenades on a few and sprint past them.
If those 6 options are literally not enough, we could also make them susceptible to fire, or maybe allow the dust cannon to damage them. But 6-7 auto turrets is 90-105 yellow, red, and blue. All of these countermeasures are cheaper than that. Is that seriously not enough?

Er the actual name for the gun is the ARC12, didn't know refering to it as the lightning gun would be considered juvenile
EDIT: I'll call it by its actual name then.

well, calling it a lightning gun, seems more like a dumbed down simple version, we need some creative naming ^^

I just want to say this now: I suck at naming things. Please take the ideas at heart first, not the name.
Welding Kit - Used to fuse a launch bay door shut, rendering it useless for use.
Bioradar - Can be used to detect lifeforms on the ship. Only applicable if fog of war applies on an enemy BC.
Barricade - A basic object used to block pathing. Primarily used for tactical purposes.
Hotwire Kit - Allows you to launch a ship from your enemy BC.
Tracking Beacon - Relays the location of the BC it is placed on. Much more lightweight and stealth based than its missile equivalent.

Depends on the cost of the infiltrator, and how boarding mechanics apply to the opposing BC's docking space. Besides, stealing a Destroyer for an Infiltrator sounds pretty hawt.

We can have blast doors that can automatically open to u or an ally while it hinders enemies and fire
