Anyways to not have some measure of autoturret would be silly imo.

Spits didn't go offline if gen is down. They are not tied to power of a base and could be deployed outside of a base SOI. The base wall turrets do go offline when gen is down though.
Spits did use motion alarm sensors to auto-fire. The motion sensors would only pick up an enemy if they were not crouching while moving (exception is the Interlink facitily SOI). Interlink SOI gave spits the ability to auto-fire if the enemy was in LOS.
You typically lay spits to defend something but I've seen some cunning cloakers use spits to attack with before. Very annoying btw.
