Turrets

[mr.magoo]

I was wondering if anyone had any means of creating an effective efficient turret aiming system for mine and my friends ship we want to be able to sit on the bridge and aim the turrets easily and near hassel and lag free please help!

A simple search will yield all the results you need...in fact, Tricky's Tutorials have a few good ones already.

It would help if we knew exactly how you wanted to aim them. I have quite a number of good turret designs, but different aiming systems do require different setups...there's manual control, laser pointer control, target finder control, etc.

I recommend laser pointers. Really simple. AND fun.

Well what we were looking for was a way to do it so that all the turrets would look where your cursor was at all times is there anything like that?

If you use a laser guided weapon, and you always have that going, then it will always follow the pointer.

Alternately, you would (in theory--i don't know if this works or not) use an advanced pod and have it output cursor bearing relative to the platform. That MIGHT work also. I don't know if it does that or not.
