Default Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

I couldn't tell from the video, but do weapons have firing arcs? If not (they were a pain to mod in Starfury), here's a simple way of doing it:

1. The arc WIDTH is determined by a parameter on the weapon's data entry, e.g.
Weapon Firing Arc Width := 90
2. The arc POSITION is calculated by converting the XY position of center of the slot where the weapon is mounted to polar coordinates.

edit: and maybe the arcs could be affected by mounts?
Spinal Mount: set to 0
Turret Mount: set to 360
Heavy Mount: decrease by 25%
Gatling Mount: increase by 45 degrees
