you set the speed, acceleration and turning to zero and there: you have a station...
There is no OP, there is only more boosters...

You only need to set the acceleration, though.
And if you keep the rotation, they'll spin.
Don't you have stuff to do?
Ya know. The important things.

No.

The main point is the direct control. Set the acc. and speed to 0 and set the direct control to "off" and the ships get spin anticlockwisely with the rotate value.(-ve value to clockwise) The turrets on this ship, maybe I named it stations, still can be controlled but it just spin and cannot move. Another importance is the stations do not get reacting force movements for its section explosion.

*. speed will become 0.01 although you set it 0

No effects if acc. and speed are not in 0 and 0.01 respectively "or" the direct control is "on". It will not spin and can be moved by reacting force.
