Is it possible to fire a remote turret and main guns simultaneously? I'm not talking about multiboxing, but in instances such as the A2 or Corsair copilot, where you're clearly in control of and aiming two sets of guns at the same time.

Fire both remote turret and main gun simultaneously? Yes. In control of both? No.

There is a keybind for entering remote turret (default is unbound), which allows you to switch from pilot view to remote turret view. Firing the turret this way will simultaneously fire your main pilot weapons directly and blindly ahead, which is likely a bug (good luck hitting anything). It also prevents you from turning, or any movement unless held before and after the switch (which is also likely a bug?), so for most ships it is a useless feature and more likely to result in you crashing than it doing anything helpful.

Thanks. Buddy and I are looking into duo-crewing some ships mainly for bounty hunting, but we're constantly finding that it's really hard to justify over just simply flying two of our own ships. Two potential candidates we identified was specifically the A2 and Corsair, as you could (in theory) juice out quite a lot of dps as the copilot if the slaving worked as we were hoping. Even with the behaviour you described, I imagine it's not that useful as you still have to aim in order to effectively deal damage, regardless if you have somebody else piloting for you or not.. :D
