Pre-set subsystem targeted
Hello HLP,
Is there a way to set things up so that when a specific ship is targeted, say, a cruiser, then a particular turret on the cruiser will be subsystem targeted by default?
Thanks,
CommanderDJ

[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

You could probably do it by editing the POF to make that turret the first in the turret list.

Unfortunately I don't even think Goob's idea would work.  As far as I could ever tell the targeting while consistent is pretty random on what it picks based on distance and your fov.  For instance those dang anti-fighter missile launchers on the Moloch are almost impossible to target until you are dead on top of them and facing them. 
No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

You can temporarily make the rest of the turrets untargetable if the mission requires you to worry about a specific turret at a time.
