Will a player who spawned as the gunner in a Hammerhead in Arena Commander be able to exit their turret in case it's damaged and change to a new one?asked by Shafto

TL;DRFor Free Flight, Sean Tracy says players should be able to leave a turret and walk around the ship, since the interior and multi-crew roles matter; other modes aren't addressed.

Are we talking about in Free Flight or not? Because I have feelings on all the different modes and what they should be, because actually I don't think it's all shared and it's all the same. In Free Flight, 100%, you should be able to get out of your turret and walk around your ship and do things. Here's the thing. We have multi-role ships that have an engineering panel. We've got other things to do within the ship than only manning a turret that can actually help. And there's tons of design already in place that is going to be done so that there is more multi-crew stuff to be done. Long story short, you've got to be able to access the inside of your ship. And also, just in general, I've always hated games that make you a cockpit that is glued to the camera, rather than I'm a character inside of a ship flying around. It's what I've always really liked about Star Citizen, is that we don't really fake any of it. You're not a cockpit flying around and just hovering around. You're an actual character inside of the ship inside of space flying around. So I think you should be able to walk around.
