Same as the Invisable mod that's One mod that should never be made. Just need to meantion Aimbot and you will get the idea. Cheats aree bad enough with out auto aim.

basically the more automated the ships the less fun
you need something to do

Yes, but using the turrets when you want to fire backwards (thats what they're there for right ) is only usefull when you are docking. In midflight it sucks and the autoaim would come in handy.
As a result, I hardly ever use my turret, unless it's a forward facing turret.

The day I see auto-tracking class 9 and 10 wepons is the day I lose interest in this game. If it ever happens, I for one am out of here.

It's a poor idea, especially for any game with a multiplayer mode.

"Although I do not consider myself a member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, I find that their goals and mine often follow the same path. I will aid them when I can...if they give me a percentage of the salvage from whatever they frag along the way. Hell, they were even so kind as to sell me a ship after one of my jobs with them, and I've been flying her ever since. But god help them if someone puts a bounty on THEIR heads, for I don't care who I hunt for, as long as their live capture(or untimely death) can get me enough credits to buy a decent sized mug of my favorite drink."- A Freelance Bounty Hunter.

If someone does make a auto aim mod, then it's up to whoever if they use it or not. It's not like you get forced my Gun point to use any other mod. So if you use it, you use it. if not, then you don't. up to you.

anyway, it was just a question. I don't really care if it's made or not. I just wanted to have some fun with the game now I've finished it.

As to that warning about your mistake, just bear this in mind, while posting in this place...

Anything you say can and probably will be thought of as spam by at least some of the people here. Here, 'spam' is a loosely defined and is a dynamically changing concept.

Yes, absolutely everything I post, including this, is spam.
Bite me.

My worry would be that it would drain your energy and that it might not shoot at what you wanted it to (ya know, transport farming) or vice versa (in a populous system some sorry brit freighter is attacking you. if you shoot, everyone becomes hostile...) what would be nice is a crew! You could hire people to be gunners for your turrets, and they could gain skill over time... ooo! This is goin places...

Phooey. I need a new quote.

I think that the turrets should just automatically point themselves at the selected target, and fire at right-click.


Escape Velocity:Nova is finally out for PC!
Get it here

Yeah i have seen that in Rogue leader on Gamecube, in some ship,
but the problem was the auto aiming usually misses.

auto turrents would make the game a tad easier than i'd like it to be.
