TURRETS????

Hi, I´m new to this game despite i live in Germany and am only able to play the demo in the moment. So here comes my newb question When I buy a frighter for example I have these turret slots free where i can buy turrets and install them...no problem so long. If I´m in space now all those turrets fire to where my crosshair points to, so my question is: Is there a way to make the turrets track an enemy ship and shot automatically??? That is what i imagine a turret does...otherwise these slots could be named weapon slots too.. imho THX for help

Nope. No autotracking.
The benefit of a turret is that you could switch to turret view by pressing "H" and then aim and blast all around the ship, instead of only in the front arc. I only use it with freighters, zapping pursuers, but I guess it could be used for more tasks.

Turrets are great for Mining. Just hit H and circle around your ship while shooting small asteroids and wreckage to get cargo... it´s much easier this way.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world:
those who understand binary, and those who don't.
