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.
