The Turret is a good way to defend your outer expansions from attack, and it can also be an effective way to protect your base from infantry attacks. Although these are a little costly they are a good way to defend your base if you do not have enough units.
With a well placed Turret, you can successfully defend an expansion. If you are not careful with it's placement, you might need to buy two of them and that is when they become a lot more expensive and strenuous to your economy. These turrets are good when defending against light armor and infantry attacks however if an Engineer is microed well they can get past them so you should not completely rely on them.
