Uhhmm did I miss sumthin

I saw a hint on dis here web site. It suggested turning on the turrets and let them do the work. Huh? I didn't know you can auto the turrets. Are they any good\accurate?

Please clear this up for me. If it's in the book, I must have over looked it. If it's not hook me up wit da info.

Nope, there is no autoturret.
There is a "turretview", or something. Default key is H. check the settings to be sure.
Is a good way to make nice screenies

yip its h for turret view as default

Yea,....I know the view. It ( the hint window on the opening page) said somthing like; "Freigthers arn't made to dog fight, turn on the turrets and let them do the work for you. Keep the thruster, missles, and countermessure ready" I was puzzled thats why I posted.

O well must be a mess up.

i suspect they mean move the guns ie track the targets rather than move the ship ie manouver which aint so easy in a freighter
which would seem reasonable strategy
maybe the wording was a bit ambiguos

True,........ though I need a bit more prctice on those turrets. My accuracy is a bit noobish.

While we're on the subject of turrets, I've been meaning to ask someone... what is the main difference between a standard gun and a turret of the same type? Is it just that the turrets can move around more, or is there a power/damage difference?

most turrets ive seen use quite a punch of energy but the damage seem to be inferior....maybe be wrong, i rarely use turrets(i have a titan...no flames im sick of debating this). anyway...lets move out!!! ya know...ive always wanted to say this...

to kill or to be killed...if it lives, kill it...if it stands, level it to da ground...if in doubt?WIPE IT OUT!
