Why are the guns mounted on spheres?
That would be a turret, I think...

But on a sphere, in the middle of the ship? The guns stick out too much for it to be able to point in every direction practically, and then there's the problem of reloading the thing...That would be a turret, I think...
...And now (drum roll) they've reached the 12 million $ goal!
This just sounds unbelievable to me...
Agreed totally. But this Roberts guy is very keen on the moneymaking ($20 million up front, anyone?) so I'm sure he's just catering to the majority of the minority who would even consider playing this game.
And they are, in all likelyhood, fairly stupid.
I really, really want to see this game come through, but I've held off on contributing funds because something is really irking me.
Is the only way to acquire ships to purchase them now, as opposed to the ingame economy, or is this just a sort of "early access" to look around the ships and have them and such?
Really? For me, the Freelancer control scheme is the best way of controlling a ship in 3d zero-gravity space with a mouse & keyboard that I've ever used...
