Make it so that you can assign turret(s) to a trigger, the same as you can assign small and large port weapons now, from the ship configuration screen.

Turret(s) will use your current target, if you have one selected.

Turret(s) will not aim ( other than autoaim, if you have autoaim turned on ).

Turret(s) manned ( by other than yourself ) will ignore the trigger.

so basically ye wanna play with yer own turret...
this reminds me of Alloh.

I heard someone in chat list a one liner script that would fire their own turret.

Do you want only the scripters to do it? Or do you want to do it too?

I beleive Incarnate is trying to create a "tactical" mode that may allow this somewhat?

If you use Turrethop, you can assign this to a key:
alias turrettrick1 "turrethop 1; wait 0.2 '+shoot2; activate'"

Change the "1" to a 2, on up to 4. You have to reselect the target after firing, but it works.

I have seen it done with the new command /enterturret, that saves the target and everything.

alias turret1shoot "enterturret 1; wait 0.3 +shoot2; wait 0.4 '+shoot2 0'; wait 0.5 activate"
bind mmbutton turret1shoot

I can see that you must be a very skilled scripter.
Perhaps you can tell me why my own attempt at a script is having trouble with turret 1 when in moth mode?
