Additional Option on Trident Keys

Apr 13, 2016 Darth Nihilus link
Add a check box on the trident user keys that allows or disallows people to enter a turret once docked.

This will enable trident pilots to give someone a key for repairs or escort, but disallow them to shoot the captain's turrets.

At what point is it ok for one player to shoot a turret but not the other guy?

This is too niche. -1 or no firing on all turrets.

Uhhh, Dirty its pretty simple....

The pilot of the trident decides that point. This would give trident pilots the freedom to repair or escort people without the risk of them firing the turrets.

As in, a trident pilot could offer support to neutral parties without risk of the neutral party attacking on of their enemies with trident pilot's turrets.

I mean, come on...you never wanted to just put a safety on your turrets?

You're building a feature out of lack of trust. Why did you give someone keys to your dent when you don't trust them?
Apr 14, 2016 Pizzasgood link
Trust is not binary. You don't either trust somebody completely or not trust them at all. It's a continuum.

I guess Dirty is the kinda guy who'd keep teaming up with Leeroy Jenkins, time and time again.

I think there is a plugin for this already
Apr 15, 2016 yodaofborg link
Nah Harpo, a plugin doesn't have that kind of control. There are plugins to hop between turrets, and plugins to fire the turrets on auto, but a plugin cannot disable the fire button for a client that doesn't have it installed...

But yeah, +1, I see no harm in this, so why not?

The Trident Captains kit let's you lock out all turrets but when you undock it is no longer active
