Alright, how about doing a 7/10 split?

or how about 4+2+2?

That was an idea - but I don't think its possible to link just bank 1&2/2&3/1&3
so I dropped it...

i am sorta wondering if its possible to script better weapon linking. if what im thinking will work, it wont require a lot of script, just a few lines.

6/2 for me. I usually dogfight with Subach's (or the Zod equivalent) so the name of my game is a lot of decent hits (and near unlimited energy).

My opinion is pretty much an echo, 6+2/2+6 or 4+4 (rare IMO but workable). 6+2 really works like how Nuke says it in a way, added kill power but without wasting too much of the craft's potential on that Circe or Lamprey gun.

The thing I don't like about three banks is that you're wasting valuable seconds changing the gun slot to fire. Granted FS could use a better gun linking system but the only solution I can think of would still make weapon changing slower than it already is.

Since time is one factor that counts in FS fights... heck, some community missions have already shown that every second counts... and even then it's still not enough...

ONE BANK
EIGHT FIREPOINTS
ONLY BANSHEES ALLOWED

ive come to the conclusion that how freespace handles weapon bank arming is completely retarded. instead of an int saying which bank is armed and a linked flag, it should just bitflag the banks. doesnt seem like it would be a hard thing to do, assuming the weapon code is well isolated.
