SD cockpit and cannon fire and see the direction they face

[Sir Lego]

I am not sure if this is planed or not but I really think weapons and SD cockpits should fire and look at the same direction that they are rotated.

A while ago I built a small missile frigate with port and starboard facing guns, much to my dismay I quickly found out that they would only fire forwards regardless of their orientation.

I also realised that this might be used/abused (everyone has their opinions) to have inbuilt turrets that would be sustained off the ships power and shields.

Placing a weapons computer sideways and then getting into the weapons computer allows you to shoot in the direction it is facing. More of a side note than an expansion to the OP.

Also I agree with the cockpit direction being a factor (not like it hasn\'t been suggested a million times before, but hey) but I don\'t think weapons should fire in the direction they face. You\'ll end up with death diamonds firing in 6 directions similtaneously, and that\'ll just get silly.
