weapons point at the middle of the arc in which they can shoot by default.
It would be nice if we could adjust the default aim seperatly from the middle of the arc ,
so weapon could have a for example a 140 degree firing arc at the left of the ship but will aim forward when no enemy in sight

Pure for cosmetic reasons, yeah?

I second this as my mod has lots of examples of ships that would look much better if their weapons are oriented at specific angles. Here is an example:

P.S.: i actually see some tactical benefit from having turret 'resting' orientation on ships. In this example the ship is designed for frontal assaults, but is capable of firing at each bank. So having guns oriented how its show on the right picture would be better that have them at 90 degrees.

Indeed, with very slow turning weapons its entirely possible to lose 2-3 seconds of firing time waiting for the guns to orient themselves (tachyon lances are a prime culprit)

Yes you can manually activate the group to point them at what you want to shoot, but this doesn't help if you wanted to be launching missiles at the same time, or were firing another weapon groups.

I like this idea

I think that sounds like a great idea. Not only would it improve aesthetics, but it could help with firing times in combat. I prefer fighting head-on to an enemy, so this idea seems great to me.

Noted, I'll see if I can sneak that in at some point.
