if possible it'd be neat as an addon you can buy somewhere

The other day, in study hall, i farted really loud, you know...so the guys would laugh...and i swear it was so hanus that Susie Johnson almost ralphed up her salsbury steak.
it was freakin sweet...

It may be able to be done. While playing the other day, I noticed a rhineland fighter firing his forward guns, all while his turret was firing at an enemy behind him. This leads me to belive there is a separate AI script for turret control on fighters. If we could find it, we may be able to use the same script, or mimic it somehow.....

NPCs can do it. BUt your ship is completely under your control. So, no auto turrets unless DA gives up the source code.

I like his idea! Actually, I've been thinking about it too!

Every gun counts.

Darrr!!!

u just copy a gun and change
Auto_Turret = false
tp
Auto_Turret = true

May the force be with you, for me, to poop on.

But that is a different kind of auto turret, wolf. It's a fire control-system that minutely adjusts your turret aim to hit the enemy with more accuracy, but will not fire the turret on its own.

So that's what I change to stop my beams from locking on all annoying style to ships while I'm firing!

Digital Anvil should give up the source code, why not? I'm sure they aren't too pleased with Microsoft for screwing up their project.

The Monkeys are coming. Beware!

DA is owned by microsoft....and you know how stingy M$ is....just look at FL, there are some parts to the game that aren't even finished!

The trick is that you should not only change "Auto-turret" from false to true but also add the line "AI_range = 999" to a weapon.
It works...

what does that do?

Yeah, im curious too! Where would you add those lines to? And it really works to auto fire your turrets when you are flying? What happens when you press the trigger? does it still fire the turret, or does the AI do all the shooting as well?

This is teh worst idea I have ever heard. Its potential for abuse is worse than the cloak mod.

Seriously, think before you make these things. You are suggesting that we make the equivalent of an aimbot for Freelancer.

All we need after you might release such a dangerous mod is for some prick modder to reverse engineer the thing into a cheat designed to make their guns always hit the target 98% of the time, and fire only when it will mean that the projectile will hit.

DROP THE IDEA NOW. It is a novel concept but its negatives outweigh the gains.

PEOPLE DID NOT THINK AHEAD AND CONSIDER WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THEY DEVELOPED A SUCCESSFUL CLOAK MOD AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED: WE HAVE CHEATERS ON UNMODDED SERVERS USING CLOAKING DEVICES!

The Autoturret idea is BLATANTLY dangerous. The very concept screams the words "cheat mod" in my face.

Knowledge is NOT ALWAYS A GOOD THING. If anyone continues to argue in favor of Auto-Turrets, they are guilty of treason against the "clean" FL community of honest players and they should be on every KOS list in existence.
