Idea #1: You can't always see what the !#%& you're shooting at, and I keep hitting friendlies which tends to make them um...unfriendly. Would a target assist device or detatchable turret be possible? Something that puts a non-turreted weapon on, say, a 30 degree turret.
Idea #2: Command for wingmen to hold fire. They keep getting me in trouble.
Thanks!
Target Assist Device, wingmen hold fire command
unfortunately neither of those requests are doable.
Many people have asked for the ability to make any weapon swivel, but that would require a complete reworking of how weapons are installed.
As for having wingmen and autons hold fire, you really just have to find a good strategy for using them. They are NOT meant to follow you into the heat of battle. I have been killed by my own autons before and wingmen die far to easily if they get swarmed.
Try leaving them a short distance away and drawing enemy ships to you, allowing your waiting horde or hired guns.
Alternatively you can leave them sitting at the gate to snipe down any incomming enemies and check back regularly to collect your bounty from the wrecks. Expect to lose some in this situation though.

Stationing M1/is around a gate and having either wingmen or other autons waiting as well is an excellent way to do things.....I did that once when a charon fortress or 2 + some frigates were trying to get escorts in. Musta got....oh.....70 or so corsairs that way. That was quite some time, and many versions back though.Prophet wrote:unfortunately neither of those requests are doable.
