I dont think this is a current game feature, but would be sure be nice to have early game.

Often I'll be using a Capital Ship that has it's primary weapons on the left and right side of the ship, with nothing in the front.  To make up for this, the ship turns to bring its side weapons to bear on its chosen target.  Which is great.

But if there are alot of enemy ships around, I dont always want the ship to turn to engage.  I can get more out of the vessel by plowing into the middle of an enemy fleet and letting both sets of guns engage the enemy.

So what I'm wondering is, can you make a feature that will allow me to either turn off the ' turn sideways' function or give my ships a move command that tells them to turn to a facing I choose?
