Limit turrets aim from 360 degrees to 90

I had posted this in silver bullets thread but i think it got lost and should have its own thread.

 

Since turrets kills now count as your kills i think you should only get exp for thier kills if you did somthing skillful.

 

Turrets should have a 'targeting cone' where they can only fire in the general direction of the host.   say +- 5 ticks (to cover a 90 degree angle)?

 

This way the host still needs to aim, but get extra firepower of turret.

 

Could also sell a rear facing turret that will still be limited to 90 degrees but would protect the rear.

 

I think this will make the turrets no longer super over powered in center, but they will still have their punch in base.

If I remember correctly, Spidernl's planning on doing exactly this. If not exactly that, then perhaps a fixed rotation speed for the turret in order to actually get AROUND the damned thing.

No objections, i wouldn't mind testing it.. needs to be tested.

Could also redo calibration chip to allow 360 or 180 or whatever. Seeing as how its a useless item.
