Re: Where do I go to pilot capital ships?
The ship could handle in the same way as War.rar, but would it be possible to revamp the communications menu to give orders to turrets instead of fighters?  Instead of "Ships," you would have "Turrets," for individual guns.  "Wings" would become "Turret Groups," i.e.: dorsal, ventral, starboard, etc., for firing at targets in certain directions.  Next on the menu could be "Turret Types," so you could fire all available anti-capital turrets at a cruiser, for instance.  The same would apply for the flak guns, etc.  For these commands to work, you target a specific object, then issue the directive.  The specific guns would then fire until the target is destroyed or a new order is given.

Yeah, that's still the best idea. especially the "turret groups" thing which would free up a lot of effort from the player now that he doesn't have to order every single gun around.

Oooohhh see it does sound fun to me, making sure that as many of your weapons can be hitting a target as possible(like for example, making sure the side of your ship is facing an enemy, say in pirate ship days or what have you, and attempting to out-manuever them to try and get less of their weapons hitting you). Though I'm not sure if thats possible because it seems like weapons are all spread out on a ship in this game, so any manuevering you did really wouldnt do all that much.

Perhaps only be able to fly a capital ship made just for this campaign that makes it more out-manuever and out-strategize your opponents. But other then this relatively bad idea of mine(lol), I like the revamped communications idea.

You might want to ask an Admin to change your user name, that's not going to make you popular....

I'm guessing it's not a very good joke.

Uh.... he wasnt joking...

Anyways, If someone could use the turrets, i always thought it would be cool if the turrets would be used seporately then stearing the vessle, the ship would be driven by itself and other people could use individual turrets, and can toggle to use a different one that isn't already being used by another player

I'm guessing he meant his name isn't a very good joke. And yeah that sounds cool too :P But probably harder to do since it's MP...I'm guessing.
