Guns that fire off-axis?
Is it possible to have fixed guns on a fighter that are aimed somewhere other than directly ahead? It'd be cool to have a lower pair that are aimed slightly down and converge at about 150 to 200 meters.

Why? For making strafing runs on cap ships and turrets so I don't have to fly straight at the bloody things! ;)

P.S. I started the retail campaign over and am doing much better, got further and haven't died yet! Still losing wingmen like a jogger crushing a tortilla chip on the sidewalk...

You'll need one of the newer PCS builds (could someone please give the link?) and you will need to give $Flags "gun convergence"

works awesone you can do some cool things like rear firing missiles and side fireing cannons.

Also makes ships with noncentered gun actually hit their targets (aka wc1 hornet, excalibur.....)
