#1: I think auto-turrets have been attempted in the past, to no avail. I've heard some people claim that they got working auto-turrets that simply shot at everything, however I have a hard time believing that - all talk, no proof, after all.

#2: Certainly possible. You play Flak, go try out one of the Capital Ships - they pop and puke fire all day when damaged. In fact, in stock Freelancer, you know how your fighter catches on fire? Same thing, that's a fuse triggered at a certain point.

As for how to work the fuse, take a look at shiparch.ini - I'll use the Rheinland Battleship as an example:
<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>[Ship
ids_name = 237049
ids_info1 = 459846
... blah blah
blah blah...
fuse = r_battleship_body_fuse_player, 0.500000, 1
fuse = rh_battleship_burning_fuse02, 0.000000, 17325</font></pre>
Ah, here we go. See that rh_battleship_burning_fuse02? The last number, 17325, is the hitpoints the fuse will trigger at. Don't ask me what the 0.000000 is though, because I have no idea - changing it seemed to have no effect on the game.


See? This works out quite well ingame. ;P

ahh lol i would try it if i could get rid of the lag and get on in your mod =P

thanks for your support...i just thought cap ships would be more realistic if all the turrets were not all firing at the same traget
