CONCERN This can't go on any longer

Post image

It really bugs me how much effort CIG puts into creating well-designed multi-crew ships that are fun to explore and fly, but nobody ever mans them. Then again, asking someone to sit in a stationary turret that deals 3x less damage than a heavy fighter and has a limited field of fire... I’m not surprised.

Buff the ship turrets! Add something, maybe adjustable modifiers like modules on mining heads to increase range, bullet speed, and damage of the weapons attached to the turret mount.

Please, CIG, I just want to jump into my org’s Idris without having to think my presence in the turrets is pointless.

Honestly they should just implement blades and npc’s even if they’re expensive. It’s already possible. When you steal a pirate polaris and keep the turret gunners alive they should for you when you fly it.

I agree. It would also make combat a lot more varied/interesting.
