Automatic Tower attacking

[vicster]

Hey folks,

I was just having a wonder, im rather new to X3 but very impressed and hooked =)

but ive run in to a "problem" that annoy me,
when a ship is equipped with towers, is it necessary to switch "seating" position to fire the towers? or can the towers be set on some sort of "automatic" to attack the "your" current target.

Or do i need a community script to have such feature? in that case would you recommend one, that incompass all ships with towers.

Best regards
Vicster

you can give the turrets (that's what 'towers' are called in X ) commands.
You don't need extra scripts for that. Just open the command console of the ship and you'll see what i mean.

However there are a few scripts that improve those commands because they are not very clever.
MARS is a very good script, it changes the weapons of the turrets according to the target size, speed and more. Very effective and fully automatic. Just give the command and watch the fireworks
