Just to prove that I'm not trying to steal others thunder, this is how you do it...
Make a simple map, create an info_player_start, then create a brush based texture and select info_join_team. Now, create an info_team_start. You have the basics of a map going. To get the turrets to fire at you however, is another story. Insert several monster_sentry entities in your map, under flags, tick autostart.
Voila, the turrets will shoot at you no matter what. When you hop into the CC, they will shoot at the roof <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

even though its not related to NS =)
One question though, you say the turrets would always fire at you and when you went in the CC it fired at the ceiling right? Did the turrets fire at wherever you were looking or just at one spot in particular. If the turrets fired at the ceiling that would mean that the Commander view is just an entite above the map? And if so if the Aliens could get out of the map they could kill the Commander? (If hes a visible entity?)
I'm only a newbie mapper so this is pure speculation on my part.
Hoju, the turrets fired at me where ever I happened to look...
Also, the discovery of this was rather accidental. Either way, if it made at least one person laugh, then I'm happy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
