User Controlled turrets

[Sir Charles]

And Players wish for the abillity to zoom for better combat.

I would love to be enabled to take control over one of my turrets, where i could also Zoom and fire very precise shots. 

This would also allow for some monogames as suggested in some casino suggestion I red here lately or for more efficient (and mabye special) mining...

It would also allow for bigger diversity of roles when coop flying a ship in multiplayer.

While I don't need control of a specific turret (I currently can use the number assignments for that), I wouldn't be against it.

 

But zooming would definitely be good.  If nothing else, it would allow you to push the camera forward of your (potentially) huge ship so you can actually see what you're shooting at.

I was not thinking about controlling a single tower the same way like it is already possible with the numbers, but rather being placed actually inside the tower and controlling its rotation etc with an actual crosshairs to aim properly...

I think the idea is good, i would certainly like to use turrets in such a way. Although i would also like to be able to control turret groups whild using a single turret, so perhaps the option to control a turret and slave the turret group to the turrets aimpoint? That way (i would think) you can shoot very precise, but with more than one tower.
