How can I change the direction of where a hardpoint fires. I am trying to get a hardpoint that fires backwards with a coverage angle of 130 width

I believe the direction a hardpoint fires is down to the orientation of the bone on the model itself, and then you use the hardpoint coding to control the size/angle of the cone.

do you know what really makes me mad? that the NR didn't make as many different SSDs as the empire. they would have won much faster had they done so. it's just not fair. but, if their were more NR SSDs, they would be absolute SUPER-CARRIERS.

but, i'm a member of the PA at heart, and my wish here is to join the ranks of grand admirals... sorry, the elite imperial alignment

You would need to import them to reverse the bones to face where you want, yeah. I've never tried this before, but you could always try giving a negative value to the firing arc. Doubt that would work, though.

A firing arc of 1 would fire in one direction, right?
