You don't understand, from what i've heard, they are using turret view to shoot farther than their own angle, while being able to fly normally as if you are NOT in turret view. It's called macros.
This is what I've heard how it works, I may be completely wrong but I know it has to do with a wider angle to shoot from.

Are you on drugs?

Fisheye doesn't have anything to do with turret view. It's field of view (FOV) editing. If cheaters had managed to find a way to make mouse steering work in turret view, I'm sure the wider modding community would be very impressed and want to know how they'd pulled it off.

Plus chainfiring macros don't really give you a combat advantage. You can do the same thing in-game using two weapon groups and an alternate fire key to set up the initial staggered firing pattern.

In my case, I set my alt-fire group to 6, and clicking the mouse wheel fires them. Consequently, when I go into a joust, I click the mouse wheel wheel with my index finger just as I press the right mouse button and set up a perfect chainfire.

Either way you're still pressing one button to make it work. I don't really see the difference in whether that button press triggers an external program or your internal control bindings.

It depends on how you use it, and what for. I am totaly ok, for example, with that macro that you press a button and it changes your strafe commands to turning when you go to turret view. That is just a "config change". But I have seen ingame, and also a couple threads on the sanction reports by the way, about people with bigger shooting arcs than they should have. I meet that frequently. Ships can shoot you at 90 degrees angle with the front weapons...

It makes no difference to me because I am one of the first to die always, cheating or not, for several reasons, including my lack of skill and heavy lag due to crappy third-world internet, but its obvious that there is a "community" of cheaters in the server right now.

One day the anti-cheat will be bigger than the mod... :-|

While I don't play actively enough to have run into players that are claimed to be "cheaters", I suspect the claims are greatly exaggerated / entirely false. As someone who spent quite some hours honing their snub PvP skills in the past, I also got accused of cheating more than once - despite knowing for a fact (I'm the one starting up the game on this computer after all) that the accusations were false.

Someone competent at PvP who is turning slightly earlier than you is going to have you right on the edge of their screen, allowing them to fire at you while you can't even see them. This may make it look/feel like they're using camera edits.

Of course I can't know for certain that there aren't people somehow bypassing the anti-cheat and playing foul, but it's most likely a better bet that if you got your ass handed to you, you were simply "outplayed". If you uncapped your FPS and noticed massive improvements it's most likely because you should have limited it at a sane value like 100-120 FPS and ended up jittering instead. Obviously you may be able beat good PvPers you previously struggled against if you're jittering all over the place.

I recommend to join official factions and to fight players who you know in general.
More fun on both sides.

And regarding these hotshots with big words:
How old is this game again?
While most of the players evolved some show the same dumb behaviour like on jolt back in 2005.
