Aiming fixed forward weapons is really bad with HV/SV/CVs. How realistic would it be to change all the fixed weapons to have them follow the pilot mode cursor instead? This is how a lot of space sim/mech games handle aiming, and it's astronomically smoother and more responsive than needing to steer the entire vessel to fire.
Something like that would be great! In Freelancer you could press a button and get a cursor that you could use to click through the menus during the flight. Dear developers, take inspiration from Freelancer or simply copy it!
I played avorion before empyrion and fixed weapons are also hard to use in here. However, the piloting system of avorion is great and easy to use. I would prefer the addition of a piloting mode that work just like avorion. we move our mouse however we want to see whatever we want, and the vessel will simply align itself with the view. At the same time this make fixed weapons easier to use. As to give them a certain degree of "mobility" to follow the cursor or the view center, i let that to the dev judgement.
Avorion's system would be cool too, especially for CVs with a lot of turrets. It's a shame that we're basically forced to let them run automated instead of having a synchronized targeting system.
