Several annoyances

You can turn off the dock-on turret, by using the engineering screen. You'll notice a checkbox next to the system when you select it. I think hitting fire or space / enter toggles it on / off

Now he tells me! I guess I should have explored my systems screen a little more carefully. The dock-on turret (light PBC) especially comes in handy in those situations by L-points when another ship (usually out of view) suddenly decides to fire on you for no apparent reason -- often taking out one of your T-Fighter turrets in the process). Thanks:D

Is there something wrong with your sensors? It looks dangerous!

As I said, it's another annoyance that you can't disable ANY system that way. Having to reduce power to 77 MW to increase stealth bothers me.

I love Mechwarrior, but honestly the LAMS only worked for me once. I've never seen the AMS fire.

Hi Baritone Black --

For some reason, you're not actually supposed to see the anti-missle system fire. It's supposed to be a very high speed laser weapon which is only designed for one purpose. The Docking Auto Turret, on the other hand, is a light PBC which is supposed to make itself noticed (often to excess -- like in the middle of L-points if you forget to disable it ). I've never actually "seen" the Point Defense Turret fire -- only the result when it works.
In Mechwarrior, for example, didn't you see many of the missles exploding before they hit? You should notice the same thing in EOC. Think of it like your computer activated countermeasures. You don't actually know they're released; you're supposed to have faith that they are. (Also, your loadout inventory usually decremented after a missle exchange.

Are your sensors faulty? It looks dangerous out there.

Hey Baritone, how DO u activate the LAMS or AMS in Mechwarrior4.(Thanks in advance)
