Frigate Turrets Targeting Bug

Jun 11, 2005 Arolte link
The frigate turrets are inoperable for players who turn mouselook off. I don't use the keyboard to fly, but I like to keep the view locked into position with my ship. That's why I fly with mouselook off. And unfortunately that means I can't use the turrets either. Would there be any way to fix that? It looks like the turrets use a special mouselook mode where the two crosshairs are already aligned, which is pretty much what mouselook off does anyway. So why would it be broken for users who have mouselook off? Seems kind of odd. I know a solution would probably be complicated, but c'mon there's gotta be some way to make it work for both preferences.

I just tap the ; key when I hop in a turret, and again when I leave. A bit annoying, yes, but not a showstopper bug by any means.

Yeah... I removed that bind. I also removed the bind for flight-assist mode. I don't like hitting keys in the middle of battle accidentally, only to find my controls get totally screwed up. It's not that my fingers are all over the place or anything, I just do it to avoid the possibility altogether.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it would be nice if players wouldn't have to switch to different modes just to do certain things in the game. I know right now it's not a major issue. I'm not saying it's urgent or anything. But if I was a newb who had no understanding of how the turret's targeting system works, you can imagine how frustrating it would be to be stuck like that. Just sayin'...
