Bit of a problem here. Assume you have a ship, with say 2 wings either side, and guns mounted on the ends of these wings... i cant seem to get the weapon exit points right, since the co-ordinates you designate dont account for banking, thus when the ship banks, its guns go out of line... any way round this?
cheers!

Weapon exit points do not take into account banking frames. This is a limitation of the Nova engine.
This will not be changed, and no new features will be added.

Gah, all that time (15 minutes 
) I wasted messing with the z and xy compensation fields. Oh well I had a sneaking suspicion this was the case and the z field really did just move the exit point in the "depth" axis, heck thanks to NovaTools I could see that was the case. But still... gah, curse my stupidity.

the best way I can think of is just have your guns come out of the center of the ship. It avoids the problems too slow rotation of weapon exit points.
I know it sucks, but the only other way to avoid this problem is to not bank the ship.
