so im in the middle of developing a crappy space based game where little ships fly around and shoot other ships. sounds simple right? but whenever i use the fire button the slug always comes out of the top. i need to figure out how to make the slug exit a particular side on the frigate class. any ideas?

You can position it after adding it to the world. For example to have a slug start 20 pixels to the right of center of the frigate:

Slug slug = new Slug(); // create slug
addObject(slug, getX(), getY()); // add slug to world at frigate location
slug.setRotation(getRotation()); // match rotation of frigate
slug.turn(90); // turn right
slug.move(20); // move 20 pixels
slug.turn(-90); // turn left

And line 2 should be:

getWorld().addObject(slug, getX(), getY());
