Few questions in regard to Multi Turrets

[Vlad, Doing Snek Things]

I've just gotten back into playing the game, after not touched it for a very long time.

Trying to figure out a couple of things, primarily at this stage, how to not rip out all my hair while trying to use Multiturrets to disassemble a base.

Is there any way to quickly switch to a turret without going into the P (system) menu and manually controlling a turret?
Is there any way to automate the turrets to automatically salvage/pickup blocks on bases, or any automation at all for them?

unfortunatly not. They haven't given us a Hot Key for it yet, nor is there any kind of automation.

Not yet but you should definitely suggest them on the official empyrion forums so the devs can take note if they haven't already.

For a game like this, so many things need polish but it still comes later -- certain things take priority.

[JDaremo Fireheart]

LOL, It's been suggested since the turrets were introduced back in A-6 or A-7

[prophesied]

That wasn't very long ago. You don't seem to understand the grander scope of game development.

Super convenient features like this come AFTER major developments because they can change and there is no reason to add a bunch of refinements to a system that could possibly change.

LOL, more major things are still coming. But, go ahead and post something in the Suggestions Thread on the official Forums.

Nope! Accessing turrets is still annoying.

The only way to make anything easier is maybe having another player in a passenger seat operating the turret as their main job.

Thanks for all responses, sad to hear there isn't an easier way... well, I guess there's no reason to have more than 2 muliturrets on my hover vehicle X3 1 on top, one on bottom

Yeah, that's always a big help. But it doesn't help if you're alone or playing Single Player.

There may be something coming yet. You never know.
Go drop a suggestion on the link I posted. It may help

The only reason to have two multiturrets would be is if you were in multiplayer and had someone else in a passenger seat to operate the other one. So not completely pointless but pointless in single player.

yup, I agree. Unless removing one unbalances the HV, which in that case you can add a minigun turret . . . or plasma turret or rocket turret, depending on how far you are in the game and if you have the resources for the ammo.
