I don't understand what you mean by a fix. The guns are in w weird place, so what? Still easier to get used to and compensate for than a Bwing or the new ARC170.

An off center aiming fixis what I mean. The Firespray's not the only ship of course, but this has been bugged since jtl's launch and I can't say I've seen any recognition from the dev's regarding it.

No matter how I attack my target, when I want to hit it with my lower guns, I have to over aim the reticle and when I do that my upper guns miss. It sucks and all ships with this issue should get a fix.

I have a really nice 215k mass KSE..... sitting in deed form in my bank. Its a cruddy PVE ship and a Crap PVP ship. THats not to say it can't be used well. It just not worth it. Heres a tip if you plan I flying it thou. Turn on your axis. Q And E keys. seems to work well for getting all the weapons to hit.

I don't see the problem, its guns are placed in a different way, you just have to compensate for it by turning your ship a tad. Takes 5 minutes to get used to it after the Xwing, I don't think it needs any fixing, it's a different ship, not everybody likes it, you are not forced to fly it. Btw, you don't need the reticle to tell you where to fire, sooner or later you will know with or without it, especially if you get used to firing at targets from farther than the reticle even appears. As a rebel for PVE I prefer it over any of our other ships (haven't tried the heavy Xwing yet, that might be better), two 2200-3300 L8 guns rip apart everything in seconds. When fighting a group of 10 Tier4 ships they don't last longer than 2-3 minutes tops, one and very rarely two even dies on their approach to my position, love ships which fly straight at me, silly pirates, heh Hell, in my FS I don't even bother jousting Tier5 aggressors in Kessel, I just target their weapon and fly right behind them, I remove that weapon before he can damage my front shield more than 75%.

If I read this right, the original poster is talking about weapon convergance.

This is something that has been requested since Beta with JTL. Weapons currently fire straight forward and never meet at a point. Weapon convergance would make the lasers meet at a single point at a certain range.

Yeah, thats not in-game now. Not sure if it ever will be but yes, pilots have asked for this before. If you're having problems with the offset lower gun on the Firespray I suggest trying to roll a bit more. I have found that works pretty well. Personally I prefer the offset gun sometime it actually helps more than it hurts.

Most joysticks today have a twist which also makes rolling a snap. I do this all the time, and I love my KSE for Awings of all things. Since there is no convergence, offset guns is actually a plus if you roll the target jsut right. The lower guns always seem to hit when I aim with the top ones . Put a new SW engine in it, grab a beer and go to Kessel.

Bingo! You put it in clearer words then I.

I use a flight stick and I take full advantage of rolling which is something that the Firesrpay does very well. I've had mine since December and because of the weapon convergance with it's lower guns, I only use it to take black sun destroy missions. When it comes to timed or escort missions I use my krayt because I know I'll be able to hit my targets with both guns and hit them fast.

It's to bad we might never get a fix for this.
