Maybe something like a 45 degree angle of arc.\r\nOf course, the \"auto target\" feature would still try to directly align with the target regardless of arc, but it would be nice to have a small area of hittage (lol) Currently guns slightly turn towars the center of the ship, kinda how the small angle offset on Fighter Jets cause the bullets to converge and increase accuracy, but that isn't really what I'm meaning\r\n\r\nCurrent:  \r\n![capture](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/15973422/12075668/6abc7a38-b14c-11e5-9b97-e95d134c1361.PNG)\r\nProposed: \r\n![capture2](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/15973422/12075669/6abee2dc-b14c-11e5-9782-ef72ced31537.png)\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/comments/168416610","html_url":"https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/579#issuecomment-168416610","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/endless-sky/endless-sky/issues/579","id":168416610,"user":{"login":"endless-sky","id":11450262,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11450262?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky","html_url":"https://github.com/endless-sky","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/endless-sky/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-02T18:53:33Z","updated_at":"2016-01-02T18:53:33Z","body":"This doesn't make sense to me. If the arc is as small as in your drawing, your ship can just correct by steering slightly. If it's as big as 45 degrees, that would totally change the balance between guns and turrets. Either way, I'm not sure what it would add to the game, especially since the tradeoff between powerful forward-facing guns and versatile turrets is a big strategy element."}}
