Auto-turrets, im sure every mod will eventually face such request, quick searching found no such thing yet... So, here it is! A certain Star Wars mod has/had some sort of working concept of turrets that fire automaticly, as i know nothing of Freelancer editing i dont know how hard it is to mod in such feature but it would certainly have its uses and would enable larger capital-ships to behave the way they should.

Some vanilla ships lose quite some of their dmg-output because some turrets …
