Turning Units

It is possible to determine the direction that units face when they are standing motionless. Select some units, then press the t key and your cursor will change. Click the left button in the location toward which you wish the units to face. Click the right mouse button to cancel the cursor.

You can also turn the turrets that are attached to structures, such as the Laser Turret. If you wish to select multiple turrets at once in order to turn them all, try selecting one then holding down the Alt key as you drag the box over the others.

Units turn automatically as necessary to attack or to move; however, turning them in the direction of potential threats before those threats materialize can allow them to react to attacks slightly more quickly than if they must turn around first.
