Multiple lasers

Post by Muffster »

It’s certainly nice to be able to mount 4 lasers, which of course comes in mighty handy during pirate attacks. I’ve already got a military laser pointing forward, but would also like one at rear.

Probably a noob question, but I seem to be drawing a blank searching for an answer. Is it possible to disable given lasers individually when multiples are mounted? The reason I ask is, I’m afraid of shooting at something I shouldn’t be since they all fire at once.

Maybe a control I’ve missed in the vanilla game, or perhaps via installing a OXP?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Only the laser of your selected view should fire. If they're all firing at once, something's wrong!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

What a dolt, that's the way it is actually working. I just assumed they were both firing at the same time when I switched to the forward and aft views. 🤪
