Firstly, TY for the turret models, it is truly awesome. Perhaps the only thing coming out of the incarna patch that EVERYONE can say they enjoy, dinosaurs and fanboys alike.
However, does it not concern you that the missiles in this game still appears to be coming out of the middle of your ships? Or that a missile volley is just making missiles larger?
This is what a simulated missile volley should look like

How cool is that!
So, can we finally have missiles being launched from their respective hard points please? You managed to make a fully functional 3rd person avatar in 2 years, surely you can spare a few days to make me some pretty missiles?
All those who agree, type "X"

This is not in the plans, would it HAVE been in the plans they'd have done it by now (people have been asking this since the game went live). Also, it would interfere with dev time for WOD/DUST and creating stuff for Aurum so you can just forget about that one.
I really would like CCP to prove me wrong, but I don't see it happen.

srry you missed the memo but this has been explained to death as to why they haven't done them yet for the past 3 weeks I think lol
...I would give you a link but I cba...

I'm not involved with the project, but I remember a fellow dev posting a link (or maybe it was at Fanfest, I forget) detailing the hows and whys of this.
Currently all ships that can fit a turret require nothing more than the turret being reskined (although that in itself is no mean feat!) however for missile bays to be shown requires more significant rework.
For one, it requires the game engine to handle missiles differently with their trajectory being sourced from their respective launchers. This means touching the physics simulation a not inconsiderate undertaking in itself.
Secondly every ship with a missile launcher spot must be revisited and edited to remove 'fake' missile bays, such as the Drake, Crow and many other Caldari ships have. This means extensive remodelling time. All the other missile capable ships must be modified to have sensible placement areas for missile lanuchers either added (again more editing of models and textures) or designated.
We must then decide how they will work: for example, do they rotate to point to their targat in the same way turrets do, or do they fire a missile forward with respect to the orientation of the ship, which then curves around on a new vector, etc.
Once you've decided how the simulation will work, and reworked all the ships you then have to start work on the models for the launchers themselves. This is made more complicated by determining how "large" missile bays, such as siege launchers work on smaller ship models, such as the stealth bombers.
All in all, you might feel left out, as a missile user, with the new turret effects, but you're incorrect in assuming that the work required to implement new turret models is equal to the work I've listed above.
So sit back, enjoy the new turrets (when they're shooting you I guess) and be patient.

Well i think what your asking is way too difficult for CCP developers to code. Exspecially since its usefull feature not like walking in prison cell with nothing to do...
Funny how somehow they forgot that missile launchers are turrets as well.

Yeah, but I reckon if enough people ***** and moan about this matter, CCP might actually start listening.
These people managed to make incarna, I am pretty sure they can overcome this minor difficulty.

BTW, is it me, or sometimes new turrets look a little misplaced? Especially if you use turrets of one race on a ship of other race, or on pos in some ocasions.
