I'm too lazy to find details, but someone had mentioned the crew whom developed the space-sim portion of JTLS was formerly-named as Origin... same developer whom did Wing Commander!
Way back when, I can remember piloting a Broadsword think'n "Gosh, I wish I could fly this thing AND use one of turrets"...
SO - does the Decimator have turrets!?? =)
Yes the decimator can have two turrets, however the pilot can't fire them, so he either has to have crew to fire them while he pilots... OR get out of his seat and fire them.

Nope, that goes for ALL Multi-passenger ships.... I know....

It truly is a great ship, very fun to pilot/gun from. MUCH better than the plain old nova.
The Nova is ugly, but seems more like a civilian ship, which is a plus for roleplayers I guess.
The Decimator is absolutely awesome, the front observation room is quite something... You just need a big metal chair there, and you've got your own throne room. The cockpit is like a small capital ship bridge, with a big rooftop window. It's really a ship that more or less screams "IMPERIAL!!!" whereas the Nova whispers "Pst... Civilian ship, nothing to see here, move along...". I guess that's fitting for a rebel craft though!

Yeah... I just wish the windows were bigger though on the Nova

Yeah, the windows in the "big room" in the Nova are too small. Would be better to haveone big window instead of the four small ones...
