Does anyone know how the turrets will work on ships that have them. Will they fire and aim automatically if you are in the cockpit or do you have to switch to them and manually fire them?
Just so you know, ive moved ur mouse topic to Offtopic.
You can control your turrets by going into Turret View, which basically switches you to a view where you can spin the camera around your ship. You can aim anywhere around your ship and fire your turrets in that direction. Typically, the turrets are mounted to the back of a ship, intended for targets behind you but there are exceptions -- some ships you buy have the turret mounted at the front of your ship.
There are no AI controlled turrets on your ship. Turret view is best for when you are in formation and when you jsut wanna take a gander at your surroundings.

Thanks for your response.
So what if you have more than one turret, like when you are flying a frieghter that has 4 or more turrets? Can you only fire one turret at a time... and have to keep switching to the different ones depending on where an enemy is firing at you?
If this is the case, then it seems it would be very difficult to defend your ship.

When in turret mode, all the turrets that can fire at the point you're targeting will fire, so you don't control them individually. Also, when in normal front-facing mode, the turrets that can see the front will fire, or so I've heard from Tach

They're not always better. You can't maneuver while in turret mode, meaning you'll just fly forward while shooting at all the enemies making crazy turns around you :p
