try pressing space in turret view; you can look around you and stuff


this is my world; it goes round and round and round

Turret view is usually used for large ships to look everywhere and fire their turrets. freighters are a great example.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

turret view :
this the moment when you enjoy the great space paintings rendered in the FL Sirius system, the moment when no NPCs are around and you relax and cruise your way through space and imagine if it would be like this for real and wish that you are out there smokin your way through the galaxy.
this is the time when you reflect of how the great Commanders of the Enterprise and the x-wing and the tie fighter would feel during coffee breaks and relaxing in their bridge and cockpit.
this is the moment where you look around and wonder when this will be really possible....

this is also the moment of ultra exciting, high octane, adrenaline pumping time when you try to kill those Hessians behind you while trying to escape with your precious cargo, while trying to press on the nano and the shilds batts, while trying to press the booster up, because all you have is the humpback, 250 units of beryllium and 23 credits to you name and your still in omega 3 !!!

Its the only thing that saves the Humpback from being a total waste of time

It's also for giving hell to those more powerful than you (ha! what a thought!)chasing you after disabling your cruise engines. As long as you actually have something that can shoot backwards.
That way you can keep going and still discourage your pursuers.

I'm not saying I run away a lot... I'm not saying that... just if you need to get somewhere quickly with people snapping at your heels, turret view helps.

Of all the systems, in all the galaxy, you had to fly into mine.

Turret view allows you to look in any direction (129600 degrees?) in order to aim your guns (and turrets) in those directions. It's impossible (or difficult) to do it any other way. It's good for freighters trying to ward off ships from port and starboard.
