Didn't find anything that uses this particular sensor. I say it would be fine to remove it then.

Less confusion.
The sensor had the same name as the weapon "Nexus Link" and the same turret as the sensor "CB Radar Turret". Searching the code for any mentions of those two existing technologies (e.g. by using grep) would lead to the discovery of that sensor, whose purpose is unclear. Modders might also get misled into thinking the "Nexus Link" sensor is supposed to be used.
If you would like a "placeholder" turret (why?), implement it more cleanly.
