Auto-Turrets for modular player ships?

[Krelian]

Greatings! I'm hoping that the title says it all :D
I am well-aware of the fact that in Starpoint Gemini 3 - unlike the previous games - we are confined to use much smaller ''a.k.a non-capital'' but modular ships throughout most of the game.

Now, as I mentioned above; I understand that the player-ship is smaller this time around.
But can we at least add a few automatic/rotating turrets to the ship? Is such an option available in the game?
This would be in spirit of the previously released Starpoint Gemini games, and honestly and subjectively* I just love to have some auto turrets (I imagine they are being manned by my gunners heh) even on my smaller ships, chipping a little at the enemy's shield while I focus on manuevering and using the heavy-caliber guns. It's basically for the enjoyment / RP value, more then anything else.

I'd like to thank you in advance for any possible insight regarding this question.
Cheers :)

Hiya Krelian

The player ship is all manually targeted weapons, and I dont see that changing, but once you get to the point where you can get a Capital ship or 3, those "Now thanks to LGM patching it in from player feedback" have some weapons that are able to target all around.

Whether we see possible turrets for player main ship, I am doubtful and truly not really needed you can make it quite nimble and keep weapons on target quite easily with a few upgrades.

Alright, thank you for your answer :)
As I said; I'd want a few auto-turrets (even if they are weak) just for the sake of ''roleplaying'' purposes to make the game more fun, IMHO (for example; looking for the feeling of piloting a smaller ship such as the Millenium Falcon with it's 2 rotating turrets).
But I respect the developer's decisions, after all, it's their product.

PS! Can we use the capital ships that you mentioned during the campaign gameplay, or do they become available once the campaign/storyline is finished?
Thank you again for your time.
