	A special shielding will be available, protecting your Weapon Rotator against laser blasts. As the device is - naturally - mounted on the outside of the ship, it is one of the first devices taking possible damage in combat. The additional shielding gives a better protection from enemy laser fire.		A special shielding will be available, protecting your Weapon Rotator against laser blasts.

 Additional equipment may be available at appropriate tech-level worlds. The B&R Auto-Rotator is an interface device that connects to both, your combat engine and the Weapon Rotator. It automatically sets a given weapon configuration when your status indicator goes red in a combat situation, thus saving yourself valuable seconds in combat.

	Some lesser funded pilots may be tempted to buy a much cheaper "Bore & Ratter Weapon Rotator" product. Well, while surely the guys at B&R don't give away their stuff, think for yourself, if you're offered a device for less than half the announced factory price. While some of you may be lucky and get a real refurbished device at low costs, others will be ending up with a cheap imitation from some dubious world in the third galaxy. Nothing worse than constantly maintaining such a device, or even having it break down at crucial moments.

		+	To avoid damage to the laser system as well as the Weapon Rotator itself, rotation is allowed only below a certain laser temperature. If the laser temperature is too high a warning is issued and rotation is aborted.

 The OXP is still in an early stage of development, however the core is already working quite well. There are still a lot of areas to work in:
 * determine what happens when you rotate weapons in unusual condition (during docking, while scooping, whilst close to the sun...)?
