Turret Implementation Oversights

[Calbiri]

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...
