Turret Implementation Oversights

This is **Not A Bug** list, dont post bugs here please.

This is a short list I've made on design features regarding turrets that i hope can be addressed (or told why they exist)

They will shoot right through other turrets, or your ship..., this friendly fire can be very bad

Your ships cannons will shoot through turrents if they are poorly placed (this may be something to keep as is, but it bears mentioning)

Turrets will only target withing 500 (the current ai limit range) I suggest that Bobbi AI be set to target at max linked weapon range (or even be given a "range" setting control)

Turrets CAN draw power from their primary ship, but CANNOT draw sheilding, not even a %

Turrets dont cloak/jam with the primary ship (this ones old, if its since been corrected ill remove it)

Can you add \'turrets docking mechanism is easily shot out unless a great deal of care is take to nest the turret\'. I find that annoying. Especially since nesting it can lead to its ability to move and shoot in its max field of fire being reduced.

Actually, I like this. That makes turrets a significant weak point on larger ships giving smaller vessels a chance in combat.

You need to be able to place turrets to face any direction and then set them with a field of fire.

Just my wish...
