You mentioned in the ATV segment that with the Connie turrets, when somebody's in the top one, the state machine will give you the prompts for raising and lowering the bottom turret but not the top turret, so there are no more conflicts?

Mark AbentSenior Gameplay Programmer

That's the same exact thing that we're using for the Hornet. We have this new technology now that allows designers to set up states for a subset of seats. So like the Constellation turret, we have the one on the top and one on the bottom. Design can now set a state machine, so if you have one on the top coming down, the bottom one can't be used until that one comes up.

This will also fix a bug in which you won't be able to enter the turrets from outside of the ship.

Chad McKinneyGameplay Programmer

Yes, it does fix it.
