Last night I took two guildies to Kessel for a bit of action in my YT.
We were having gun, getting used to different things, and practicing vs Gunboats.
Everyone knows about the blindspots, but as we were using them in the normal manner, 2 things occured to me. (this is probably in some MP ship guide, but I missed it)
1) they are yellow until we shoot.
2) a turret can shoot to the side
Yes those are both obvious, but its like Reese's, two great tastes that taste great together.
Pilot flies up under the gunboat
Pilot matches speed
Pilot rolls onto her side
Gunners open up with the full broaside
Screaming and Conduit ruptures ensue on the gunboat
So it was great fun, and the only bummer was it was hard to find enough gunnies for fast xps.
The funny was: "An imperial gunboat has a blindspot you can park a freighter in, watch..."

Oh, absolutely. I have an Alliance Ace good friend, an Imperial Pilot good friend, and a CorSec Pilot good friend. My YT (and the new Nova to a lesser extent) is one of the ways we go flying together, and I've gotten pretty good (better than I was, room for improvement) at hanging out in an Imp Gunboat blindspot while the turrets pound it. What is more challenging is doing that with the spinning Gunboats and trying to stop at the right time as one of the turret gunners decides to blow it's Reactor.
