SQUARE_BRACKET_RIGHT_EN.png

SQUARE_BRACKET_LEFT_EN.png 

TurretControl
 By pressing this button you can switch to the manual control of your turret(s) (if you have any equipped) and switch back to cockpit control.

Camera controls work just like in normal cockpits.

This button allows you to take control of a friendly ship; this is similar to taking control of a turret.
This works for hired wingmen as well as wingmen 'from cargo', so be careful when you try to switch to turret view if you have wingmen. If you hit the wrong key, you're flying your wingman's ship instead of your own.

Target for turret

CTRL_EN.png +B_EN.png 

TurretAIOn
TurretAIOff
TurretAIFireAtWill
 With an active AI the turret(s) can track and attack assigned targets. See TurretTargetKey above.

A customized config can also have bound PickTargetTurretKey, NearestTargetTurretKey, ThreatTargetTurretKey.

Without AI the turret can still be controlled manually.
See TurretControl key above

With turret(s) set to fire at will AI actively engages targets in range using priorities of each turret's role much like AI-controlled ships do.
