Let me rephrase that. If the commander had to switch unmaned turrets to ai the teams succes would depend more on him as it would be in reality.

that WOULD be cool. bit hard for the switch though. Maybe if you leave a turret you man it with AI? Would mean that a ship is never unmanned

I dont know if people have said this before but it would be great if the commander on the bridge was given updates about his ships defences, like there could be lights on the wall each representing a turret controll position, the light would be green if its maned and red if its empty, there could also be a switch under the light allowing the commander to switch it to ai controll if there is nobody maning the turret. This would be cool.

I didn't have a problem with the sideways cam views. As long as the camera is relative to the turret's firing mounting on the hull of the ship.

I don't think it was that bad, I could still aim perfectly fine.

Oh, i liked that. It was kind of groovy.

Surely you can have multiple camera angles? So just make F9 "upside down" and F10 "right way up"

Actually, you can have more turrets than the limit allows, but the weapon you want on the ship must act as a seperate turret, with the entry point somewhere within the ship. Though I suppose you could make a battery of guns and code it as a seperate turret. This would be useful for capital ships if, say, you want the Imperial Victory Cruiser to have laser cannon batteries in the trenches for point defense without sacrificing anti-capital firepower.

What I'd really love was that if you did the Lancer justice and made it a fighter killer to end them all with 20 anti-fighter lasers. If the ship has six slots (how many slots do they have max in FS? Six? Ten?), then that's 20 divided by 5 players, which is 4 lasers each. If you give each player the option to choose where the fire intersects, you should be all set for some fighter-smashing.

Massed AA guns worked (and works) like this: Basically, instead of trying to hit the target directly, you "draw" an imaginary cube that you then fill with anti-aircraft fire. This "box" is often "drawn up" in advance, based on what is believed to be the target's path to or from its target.

So basically, when the enemy flies into the "box", the guns let loose until the target is destroyed or has left the "box".
