I've been seeing alot of people on the site, in live steam chat rooms and on servers who all ask the same question (Though its always worded differently). 'Does my weapons facing change which direction they shoot?" and the correct answer is no, the weapon's facing won't change which direction in which they fire. Every single weapon in Star Made is controlled by it's computer, which also doubles as a cockpit for passengers. Depending on the facing of the computer, your weapons can fire one of six directions but only for the person inside the computer.
So lets say you wanna install a mounted side gun, maybe to shoot someone as you fly next to them or a mining laser to harvest ore as you drift by an asteroid. Change the facing of the computer so the front (For mining its the face with the pickaxes) faces the direction you want the weapon to fire. None of the weapons need to have their directions changed, just the computer. I strongly suggest having a solid wall infront of the computers so the person inside can see through the wall, players in computers can't use SD Cockpits at all so the positioning of your computers is vital if your flying with guests.
Hope this helps clear up some of the confusion for you guys.
