Title: Feture Request: Play as Turret.
Post by: Retsof on June 12, 2008, 10:04:37 am

I think it would be neat to play as a turret in some situations.  Perhaps you could be the gunner on a bomber, or maybe you could relieve stress after you die by blasting things from the turret of a nearby capship.

Tried this about a year ago, didn't go anywhere, but with the recent advances I don't think it could be too hard. If it's too hard to do conventionally we could just use a docked ship which allows free movement, I guess.

it was done before trackir support was added, but its pretty damn cool.
need to come up with a way to make the track ir work with it. of course rtt in newer builds is a tad buggy.
