problems with broadside cannons and how to do them.

[Xenocide]

So on my new ship I have attached separate cannons on the side. Then I connected them to a weapons cpu facing the direction I want them to shoot.

Now one side works correctly. I see the guns hit and do damage.

the other side I see shooting in the direction but do no damage. A friend got in the other ship while I shot them and said the guns weren't even shooting him and were actually shooting straight forward.

anyone have any idea what im doing wrong?

Never tried it, always used turrets for sideways AMC fire, but it makes sense that your approach should work.

I\'ll be waiting for an answer as well.

All AMC cannons, no matter which direction you rotated them, will shoot forward.

He didn\'t rotate the AMCs, he rotated the CPUs.

But I have not gotten around to trying this myself either, as AIs cannot run consoles, but can run turrets.

Well... I have the problem that my cannons always shoot forward no matter in which direction the amcs and or the cpu are rotated (as far as i know only the direction of the cpu matters anyway but still tried).
And it would be interesting if turrets with ai modules can handle directional shooting.
