Also add, underwater, the rocket turret often can’t be exploded. Only thing can do is “pick up”.
After farming a location for a period of time(crafter supplies), control over the turret is lost. They keep attacking nearest foe but you can’t fire their specials. Have to lay down another turret. You do get back the toolbelt kit instead of exploding. Some may see that as a bonus but I think the turrets special attacks are more powerful. Time period to lose control of the turret? Haven’t timed it, maybe 15 – 20 minutes.
