Auto turret reload in PvP

May 07, 2022 haxmeister link
Missile turrets used on cap ships and behemoths etc.. these were of course made so that you have to jump in the gun to reload them since players were using active turrets to farm at too high of rate for the game's economics.

A side effect of this nerf is a very troublesome reload issue during pvp with a capship. I know this may be controversial but I'm curious if other players will also agree.

Please allow reloads to happen automatically when a player or player capship is targeted!

1. This will be helpful in undoing the side effect of a nerf versus farming, and open up the the viability of differing weapon selections for cap ship related PvP.

2. This will help to further close the need to use multiple clients to operate turrets.

3. PvP is pilot intensive.. it is a difficult agitation to manage the guns while trying to maneuver your cap ship during PvP.

4. reduces the usage of common plugins like turret hop.
5. reduces load on the game as the screen needs to be reloaded and the server notified when a pilot switches to a turret.
6. reduces chat flooding during critical PvP combat due to turret swapping from pilot seat.
