The Freelancer ' s guns are also laid out in the worst possible way . Either you present the largest possible profile topbottom and try to shoot blind half the time , or you fly it like a fighter , or you only use half of your guns . It ' s begging for top bottom turrets , which would also mean that the front hatch could be moved back to what is already the airlock room . MISC ships do seem to be the worst , but other ships are pretty bad too . All of the manned turrets I ' ve seen are just utterly inexcusable this isn ' t naval combat where everything is going to be on the same plane . The Retaliator ' s interior is just awkward as hell . The 300 series has abysmal gun placement for a couple different reasons .
