Ship Turrets

I noticed today while in space that there is an option for turret mode, but it doesn't work. Are there any ships that use the turret mode? If not, that would be something that would need to be under feature requests. It would add a lot of variety to the space side of the game when it comes to space battles. Thanks in advance to anybody who answers my question.

Turrets have been in the game for years but have never been finished. With the right dev client and the right item you can actually use the turret mode and the mouse will let you look around; however, it's not linked to firing, has all sorts of issues with clipping through the ship model (camera problems, etc) and isn't represented graphically in any way - it's just like another view for the ship that happens to be mouse controlled.

As for when/if mit will ever return to the code and finish it off... who knows.

Well, guess I'll post what I think on feature requests...
