Hi,

For some reason I cannot change Turret Weapon Mode. I got only: Forward Fire. Ship: Vulture, 1 fixed, 1 gimbal weapon.

I'm surprised the OP didn't find their solution while they typed it out .... cannot set turret more if you have no turrets ....

Pilots are therefore recommended against installing both fixed cannons and fixed multi-cannons on the same ship, since the 2 weapons' shots would have to be led in different ways (the same logic applies to other fixed weapons with different projectile speeds).

What have those 2 quotes got to do with the price of fish?

Confused

I feel there is a question you should be asking, but it has nothing to do with turrets.

(Fixed weapons are for skilled pilots, and are a waste of time for most, including myself)

If you mount the gimballed version of the weapons then they can automatically deal with the different amount of lead needed by the different projectile speeds as long as this remains in their arc of fire but you will have to do the bulk of the aiming task by keeping the target ship in front of you.

Turrets will aim to fire at any target that is not obscured by your own ship, as they are self aiming they are the only weapons that need to be instructed how to operate and so have three modes these are
  • Forward Fire which effectively turns them into a weaker version of a fixed weapon they fire straight ahead and only while you pull the trigger,
  • Target Only which limits them to fire at targets you have selected they will fire only after you have fired at the target but will continue to fire at it while it is in range and is unobscured stopping when it is destroyed or you select another target,
  • Fire at Will which limits them to firing at any hostile ship that is in range and is unobscured they will only stop doing that when you stow weapons.
If you remove the turrets or switch to a ship without turreted weapons then the selector will be disabled but will remain on the last choice used.
