Which slots in the Y-8 are the pilot controlled weapons?
I'm trying to avoid the load weapon, launch, test, repeat sequence and start out with my mining laser and tractor beam loaded
Thanks!

The only weapon slot the pilot can control is the third one down plus the ordinance. So if you put the tractor beam in you wont be able to use it in conjunction with the mining laser.

If I am remembering correctly, Weapon 2 is the pilot controlled gun. Weapon 0 is the top turret. Weapon 3 and 4 are the lower front turrets. Which leaves Weapon 1as the rear turret.

So weapon slot 2 is the pilot controlled weapon.
But I thought this publish added a pilot controlled turret or an additional slot?
So that a pilot could use a laser and beam at the same time?
Did I read the publish wrong?

copy/paste: Added two new front mounted turrets to the Y8 to improve its effectiveness. Now 5 people, including the pilot, can take control of the weapons on the Y8 for exciting mining and fighting action.
Old Y-8, 2 people + pilot have gun.
New Y-8 4 people + pilot have gun.
There isn't a single ship in-game with a pilot controlled turret, so the pilot still has one gun.
