That is mounted on the turret board, like this under CSC.
Then we should to make new graphics, if sombody didn't make it jet. :?
Just imagine a small tev8 (8!) turret on the roof on the ship. For example Wolfen,
or some better for my idea, mod ships like Rama ship.
What do you think ? :roll:

In version 1.05 (which should be coming soon) we will have the ability to create auto-targeting point defense systems, set to target and fire at objects within their range specified by certain target criteria. These would still have to be modded in however.

Yeah, you would be able to buy and install these, as point defense systems are a type of device

No, I don't know what that is.

*waits eagerly*.

I can't wait for this new ability -- It's going to be just awesome to have real, proper Capital Ship that fires dozens of turrets at the enemy -- it makes no sense at all that huge ships can only fire one weapon (I'm speaking specifically of CSC's here but other ships like the Ranx Gunship fall into the same category too)

Oh, no, they could always do this (though there were certain issues with the system, primarily regarding targeting and overkill); but these devices would be usable by the player.

I got the idea to create a Sidewinder missles in special wings. Those wing should be sliding sideways.
And SW have to loooong range (half of system, and then someone have to create a new radar :roll: )
What about this :?:
-Spolier- I suppose that this is imposible, LOL -
