we need enemies!... errr, i mean Broadsides.

from Sins Forums

i want to make a push for a addition to sins, broadsides.

i was so extited when i played the totural and watched my capital ship turn side on to bring all guns to bare on the enemy. i was nearly as excited then as i was dissapointed to see it was pertty much only the human colony ship that did it.

i cant think of anything cooler then the idear of watching to fleets pull up beside each other fireing off as many guns as they have crammed along the sides. does anyone else agree?

Should be moddable. There must be a parameter in the ships files that says if they behave that way or not, just a matter of determining which it is and changing them all the same way.

fudnemental problem, most ship moddles quiet clearly have guns on the front as apose to the sides

I just thought of that :)

The Akkan has it main guns on the side, all the others have them on the front.

You can mod the guns to the side on all the others, but I'm not at all sure the graphics will look right after.

Ships automatically turn to bring their most powerful weapons to bear (The side with the highest DPS). Off the top of my head, the Akkan, Dunov, Sova, Progenitor, and Halcyon do that.
