Guns are the primary weapons of combat.

Lasers aren't nearly as cool as guns. You can roast a chicken with a laser. You can EXPLODE a chicken with a BAZOOKA.
Turrets essentially give you that extra 'umph' of fire-power or extra shots of xp (depending on which variation you dwell on). Unlike lasers, these have ammunition - so you have to restock every once in a while (buy lots of ammunition from planets before heading out on a spree with these because they don't last long). However, their upkeep is quite a drain financially, so make sure you're in a position that you can sustain yourself! The rail turret is the best for skilling, the Omega cannon for killing stuff. NOTE: You have to buy the ammunition which corrisponds with the turret you're using but you can choose from the same three 'flavours' for whichever gun you use.

You can't fire a watermelon from an Omega Cannon FAMOUS NATIVE AMERICAN PROVERB
You get ammunition from planets in these funny things called 'crates' (previously dispathed in large marrows (it's surprising how hollow they are), it was only a matter of time before common sense shone through).
You can either go for cheap and weak (Ferrous), or expensive and powerful (Anti-matter). It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that if you want to skill, go for Ferrous ammunition (it'll give you just as much skill as higher levels, if not more from prolonging the creature's suffering through your practise) - if you want to kill big mommas (Note: this isn't an NPC... yet?) go for Anti-matter (it kills them quicker, so saves your hide... or hull).
Unfortunately, the funny thing about ammunition is that it runs out - and it's possible that you'll be BOMBARDED by IRRITATING messages saying 'oi... another crate's been emptied mate!' (or along the lines of that... ships haven't developed personalities... yet) but never fear, you can turn these off via the options menu (HALLUJAH).
Clearly turrets are worth their weight in skilling, but for Pvp? Are turrets worth it?
Well put it this way, if two equally statted, almost equally equipped people were to start forking each other, the one with the turrets would win.
