Automated Side/Rear Guns

[Jake]

By its very nature this is probably best suited to an OXP, and expensive to buy at that, but is it possible for guns mounted in whichever direction you're not currently looking to fire automatically when a ship flagged as hostile and/or a missile targeted at your ship enters the crosshairs?

[Thargoid]

Unfortunately player ship guns can't be fired by script. An effect could be simulated (and whose to know as you're not looking in that direction, except for laser heat level) but it wouldn't be directly using the ships guns.

If you want similar effects though, try a ship with turrets.
