While most ships have forward firing weaponry mounted, many ships, including large fighters, cargo haulers and capital ships, also mount turrets located in various positions around the hull. As these ships are generally unable to engage in a dogfight requiring high maneuverability, these turrets form the main line of offense and defense.

While turrets vary in size and firepower, they all operate in a similar manner:

Press '''[ ] ]''' to select and enter a turret. Repeatedly pressing this key will return you to your cockpit, then cycle between any additional turrets and the cockpit.

Turrets must be activated to use their own Artificial Intelligence. To toggle the AI of your turret, you must press '''[o]'''. This will activate the turret, which will then proceed to attack your current target. Pressing '''[o]''' again will deactivate the turret.

Turrets can also be told to attack a target. While in forward '''[F1]''' view, select their target and press '''[P]'''. Once they attack this selected target, you may change targets, while your turrets continue on the original.
