Looking at it, it does say "Guass" instead of "Gauss" in a few places.

this I think is closer, for I have no problems getting turrets to spawn for me when I create customized maps. Heck the Mod I use (distant stars) allows me to create starbases. Created one map that has planets with 3 orkuls

you have to make the militia spawn from the GSD file, plus I used a mod that had a specially design starbase constructor (we use it mainly for the pirates) that automatically forms into a starbase upon setup with all the trimmings

go ahead and check out the map, it is on the distant stars mod called Ashes of the TEC, its a huge 5 player ffa
