Summary0023873: Turret Swap -- Switch subverter and bastille turret for consistency
DescriptionThe Bastille turret is an ambush turret that gets a bonus if protected by being protected in a forcefield.
The subverted turret is a technologist turret that converts ships into zombies.

These turrets should be swapped so subverter is ambush and bastille is technologist

Subverter makes more sense as an ambush turret because it's literally turning enemy ships into allies, thus setting up ideal ambush scenarios (epic for hacking)

Bastille makes more sense as a technologist because this tech already has mechanics that specialize with shields. (Eg., stingrays get bonus damage against bubble shields). This is a natural fit for the bastille turret

Aren't Parasites Technologist?

Yes, they are. Point withstanding, there are mechanics that are exclusive to a single tech. Fusion weapons can be found in raid frigates, for example. Theming is really the salient point IMO. Bastille turrets totally do not fit with an ambush theme -- I looked at the other turrets for a simple swap and subverter jumped out at me as the most compelling (for my reasons above)
