The turrets I tell you!!
What's the best method of mapping the turrets on the capships? I wanna configure some ships with particular weapon configurations but can't seem to get it right... whattaya reckon... keep going hit or miss style or is there a map of the various ships' hardpoints?

Try using K and Shift-K in FRED2 to cycle through the selected ship's turrets.

I think he wants to change the turret weapons on existing ships.

If you want to edit the turrets on the Charibdys you'll have fun.

 
Yeah, nah, I jes wanted to try and configure a far more effective armament fer the orion, I mean I love the ship but DAMN those turrets are SO not a deterant. Without a fighter escort, taking down an orion is a piece of piss! Fly against any ship that's not packing flak and you'll see what I mean.
Yeah, targeting through k/shift k isn't really a problem as I can find out what weapon type is mounted in fred. It's just that targeting doesn't log the turrets from 1-? however many turrets are on the behemoth.
Has anyone seen any schematics fer the fs2 ships at all?

Dude, alter the weapons.tbl so that the laser turrets are actually a viable defense, set the game to insane and then say taking down an Orion is easy. :)

Make them fire every 0.01 seconds, give tham a mass of 50, a speed of 2500, a damage value of 500, and make them invisible.:D

"The original GTW-5 Prometheus S was removed from service when the link to Earth was lost and the GTVA was unable to obtain sufficient quantities of argon (a required element in the Prometheus's power-generation module). Recent deployment of Anuket and Zephyrus gas miners has enabled us to resume production of the GTW-5 Prometheus S. The S-type is a minor variant of the original Prometheus laser cannon. The S-type's faster recharge cycle and lower energy drain cause many pilots to prefer it over the R variant.", -1)
