FS#25 - Model weapon slots and positioning.
Attaching the model/weapon to its associated 'slot' on the ship, and handling the position of said slot.
Wouldn't it be better to design the ships with gun ports instead of hard-points like freelancer? I always thought that was kind of stupid to have the weapons outside the ship and be completely vulnerable to attack. Of course, we need weapon models for the menus.
It's more fun to have to maneuver the ship to fire on the enemy than to just simply point and shoot anyway.
As of release 0.2.4-svn1282 we have both cannon and turret slots which can be use to mount weapons.
Mouse aiming is implemented as early testing has shown that a dogfight would be basicly impossible without it.
The only difference with Freelancer is that, at the moment, separate weapon models are not supported.
Visually, tt does seem to work if the ship model has guns on its own, I'm not sure yet on how to proceed on this ticket.
