Bindable toggle to lock/unlock all gimbals / turrets in the forward position

[Quantis Trap]

Frontier,

Please make it a feature to allow us to lock/unlock our gimballed/turret weapons in a fairly quick fashion.

It shouldn't take much development and other games like Star Citizen have this.

If this feature is considered too disruptive to existing game play, could it still be considered as an engineer upgrade or an unlock-able category of weapons?

Thanks

PS. Sorry of this suggestion has already been posted and I missed it.

I have been wanting this for a long time too.... And also the current mechanism only allow the turrents to be locked but not gimballed! So instead of having a built in progress for players to go from gimballed to fixed, a little a time, we now only have the option of either one... fixed gimbaled should not get any damage increase, but it would let you switch between gimballed and fixed popsition and practice, and making the transition to fully fixed easier, than what it is to most players when going fixed, can't hardly hit anything... So this would still give fixed a damage boost, and gimballed have the option of greater firing arc, at the cost of damage.

Well, I admit that current 'untargetting' is not an elegant solution, but it is an option I use every time my weapone get scrambled by chaff.

I'd like to see the proposed way to fix weapons.

Gimbals should just default to forward fire when chaffed, this flailing around is just dumb. It's especially dumb when it happens and you're not even pointing your guns at the ship that is chaffing.
