Turrets shoot, but an exception is generated because it looks like Rimtalk is trying to get names of things that don't have names.
All turrets have this problem, and as far as I've noticed only happens with insects and mechs.

Edit: I unsubscribed and resubscribed to make sure I had the latest version. Still happening.
