I swear I've seen "MeritedLion" somewhere before. Like in Destiny or Mass Effect.

I have such a hard time parsing what's going on in that game. Are those weapons you've got equipped aimed manually? I don't really understand how that's feasible, and yet people seem to do it.

Probably Mass Effect. Her and her significant other play regularly since the backwards compatibility became a thing.

Yes, those are plasma accelerators and they only come fixed. You get a leading target marker which helps immensely. At close enough ranges there is some minor magnetism. Throttling above or below your ideal mass/thrust ratio helps steady you out as well (that's the blue area on your throttle control).
