Regarding commercial troop transports, this is only possible if you do not include combat drop modules.

It think it is social commentary on the usual intentions of military service.

Does each weapon on a ship need its own sensor/fire control? Say I have 5 turrets on a ship, all identical. Do I need to include 5 sensor/fire control pairs or can I slave all 5 turrets to one? I realize they'll only be able to fire on one target that way, but its possible yes?

Yes, you can link an infinite number of weapons to a single Fire Control.

However all those weapons will only target one ship. 1 ship per fire control. If you have 4 weapons all strong enough to take down a ship by themselves, get 4 fire controls.

You don't need multiple copies of the same sensor.

If your ship were a gun, the active sensors would be your eyes, and the fire control modules the gunsight/scope.

Really? because I am equipped with two eyes.

Yet you close one while aiming, no?

It depends. Your not supposed to I hear.

[Micro102]

what if the ships split? Can you make your eyes go in different directions?

[Greenbane]

Jesus, dammit. You got my point.

Each ship is a set of eyes if they all have sensors. If one of your ships splits in half, it was most likely hit by a missile.

What I do then is open my eyes wider so I can see them both. If I close one of them I won't be able to see them both.

So what I'm getting here is you need one fire control system per intended target. Any number of weapons can be slaved to a fire control system. Any number of fire control systems can pull targeting data from a single sensor.

That is correct.

I need to start reading entire posts.

We should start filling out the Aurora wiki more too. Nobody else is going to.
