It is a struggle to get symmetrical placement of your weapons, so I thought I'd create an album of helpful pictures for each ship and their weapon placements. Here is a sample picture of an Aamon Prototype:

Would this be useful to this community? Opinions to improve? Please let me know.

EDIT: Each number represents its respective bay. 1 = Bay 1, etc.

hmm, interesting idea. I wonder how many people will find it useful.

Reminds me of dead_beat's hanger and launcher guide a bit :)

The idea was floated to Exogenesis as a possible function of his XModels3DViewer tool but it was not found to be an easy thing to display which weapons were in which numbered slots in the Viewer. Link to similar thread from a while back.

I might have to give it a go, then. It definitely won't be awesome like it would have been in XModels3DViewer, but it'll still be good enough.

this would be very useful for someone like me who must always have his PBGs grouped up in a nice ball around the nose with his HEPTs/EBCs on the wings and vice versa depending on the engagement

Would be nice.
I usually just experiment at the moment in time,until it looks right when I attack.

Another thumbs up from me!

Since I spend most of my time in my HypV I've got its weapons fairly well sorted, but when I need to switch to another ship this would be very useful

Would be even better if the guide is for AP.
