Some people may want to observe a battle from another ship's eye view. Have you noticed something about the Volition models? Almost all of them have eyepoints. Even the Lucifer and Typhon have eye points. Something to think about...

They could, but they'd be getting shot up the arse.

Woolie, the next time you discover some little nugget of information about FS2 and come to HLP to tell us all about it, consider this - we've known about it for years. I wouldn't make a point of saying this, but you pull this stunt about once a month.

Well, it would be better to have the POV(Point of view) from a turret if the player is observing from a large ship(or even a bomber with turret!).

SCP guys? Where are you hiding? You cannot escape from this :D!

But I think it would be good to have this feature. Just by the goal we can see how does the Ai aims.

Point at the point where the player will be. At aim with almost 100% accuracy.

What is wrong with the AI missing once in a blue moon? I only get like a 25-30% primary hit ratio.

You mean an Ursa with 'shoot me' and a big target painted on it.

OK, 100% is really an exegeneration, but it has inhuman aiming abilities anyway.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
