#screenshotsaturday ok ... shields ... which sci-fi game is complete without shields yeah? In the Foresight universe, shields are bubble-shaped so that they automatically all components n emplacements.
But turrets can fire OUT of it.

#WIPWednesday oooo what's that?!
Non-canon btw. Shields aren't supposed to appear THAT soon on these ships. But hey ... enemy anti-fighter turrets can fire at u but u can't hit them at all - at least until the shields are down.

#screenshotsaturday OK, this is a preview on how playing as a turret feels like. I know we aren't the first game with turret controls (duhz) but it's a secondary gameplay when reinforcements aren't available.
Oh yeah the flak hit sphere is pretty big.

#WIPThursdays #WorkInProgress Interior "cockpit" view. Ammunition matters. If this is proximity fuze flak that fighter wouldn't have stood a chance.
Still need to work on the UI display and other issues. Soon.

#mondaymotivation here's a temporary placeholder for a 4-turret "chicago piano" which is an anti-fighter turret. Not a turret u'd wanna fly against head-on.

#screenshotsaturday! Added recoil camera shake (that doesn't affect distant objects) & hover controls (up/down) - that's the 4th axis u can control ur fighter apart from pitch, yaw, roll. Now u can just face down and hover up to do an attack run

#screenshotsaturday u can control a turret if u wish. Though, ur AI wingmen won't be doing anything. This is a passage of gameplay where the mothership is waiting for reinforcements. Firing at the right target makes a big difference too.

#screenshotsaturday Therer're tiny systems built into the game that helps the player silently. Often, aiming at small turrets tend to be hard due to the fighter being too maneuverable; hence the FINESE aim mode. Watch and find out!

#screenshotsaturday and so I was working on the music mood manager & realised there's no way to specify moods unless done so in code. So I decided to add it into STAB. Multi-track thingy is for future implementation - but doesn't stop data from existing.

Will be tied with objectives as well.
