The Far Venture class merchants have 4 turrets.   I, obviously, need to think about where they go for the final design.   Of course, right now LSPS 1802 just has 4 hard points.  Might modify the design so that they are &quot;pop up&quot; turrets and hand wave that when &quot;up&quot; they clear the ship.    Need to find 4 dTon to do that.   Might have to make a custom designed 16 dTon modular capable launch.  Sounds like a plan.<div><br><br>On Friday, September 12, 2014, Richard Aiken &lt;<a target="_top" href="mailto:raikenclw@gmail.com">raikenclw@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><br></div><div>I browsed down the posts and came across the &quot;LSPS-1802.&quot;</div><div><br></div><div>Question: Why isn&#39;t the forward turret mounted so that it can fire directly aft without changing the orientation of the vessel? It seems like it would be easy to put it on the lowest or highest point of the bridge module and thus give it a shot backwards. As it stands - unless I&#39;m missing something - this ship can&#39;t run away from pursuer without having to change vector every time it wants to shoot back.</div><div><br></div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div></div></div></blockquote></div>
