It's such fun to see them speculate.

[Falcon]

I question your sanity..............

Okay another guess:

the ability to fire turrets?
missle view?
ablity to control your missles like in Descent 2?

Those'd be pretty cool actually.

Yeah, we've been playing with that one. Great for simulating the small guns on fighters and some capships.

[FireCrack]

REM missiles eh?

This thread is producing so many feature ideas.

[vyper]

Here that shotgun effect looks quite interesting...

[terren]

Could it be a way to keep multy part turrets from sticking straight up on ships?  Or perhaps it's that Mpart turret kickback I heard some one mention as accualy possable.

*dances because he knows the secret and waves it infront of others faces*

[FireCrack]

Wave it infromyt of my face will ya?



A default angle for turrets to rest at would be nice, although for turrets with a big feild of view like those in space it probably wouldnt make as much sense but what the heck, it looks cool.

[StratComm]

Actually with the animation code that exists, it shouldn't be too hard, I wouldn't think, to rotate the turret arms into position before starting the mission (could be FREDDED now, but coding it probably wouldn't be too difficult)

*is going to play more guessing cards*

meh lets see..........

no more loading screens?
SCP effects able to be turned on in-game?
weapon grouping?

Turrets will face forward by default in my next build.

[NGTM-1R]

Which will look pretty screwy on the second and fourth from the front turrets of the Hecate, since they're rear-facing by default.

[terren]

thanks, now the ships with realy huge barrles wont look so odd.  and I'm shure TBP will thank you also.

If you're doing this, can you make them face forward but with a default  elevation of 10-15˚?  Straight forward will look a bit funny on most ships.

[Taristin]

What about rear facing turrets?

[WMCoolmon]

I suppose I could make it settable with a TBL entry or something.

[StratComm]

Maybe something like this for forward facing:
+ default rotation 0 ;;(0-360, angle from forward, in degrees)
+ default elevation 10 ;;(0-90, angle from horizontal, in degrees)
