Title: Guns that fire off-axis?
Post by: bizzybody on October 08, 2006, 04:05:50 am

Is it possible to have fixed guns on a fighter that are aimed somewhere other than directly ahead? It'd be cool to have a lower pair that are aimed slightly down and converge at about 150 to 200 meters.

Why? For making strafing runs on cap ships and turrets so I don't have to fly straight at the bloody things! ;)

P.S. I started the retail campaign over and am doing much better, got further and haven't died yet! Still losing wingmen like a jogger crushing a tortilla chip on the sidewalk...

You'll need one of the newer PCS builds (could someone please give the link?) and you will need to give $Flags "gun convergence"

Also makes ships with noncentered gun actually hit their targets (aka wc1 hornet, excalibur.....)
