L-turrets broken in 4.10?

[|K.O.S.H.]

Well if the issue is here reported in 4.10 release and as yet there have been no updates/hotfixes since 4.10 release then the fix *must* be in a future build whether as an update or as a hotfix.

Yeah, thats how i read it.
But i missunderstood your post.


My "fixed" referenced the unreleased development built.

So I meant "it's fixed, but not released"
Which is fine for me...

I am pretty sure it is the player's target and is not useful unless the ship is nearby. I've used it during boarding for instance to have a stationary troop ship put its guns to use to bring shields down on a crippled destroyer. There used to be an equivalent "turret attacks what the ship is attacking" in X3 but it was one of those things we lost in the transition.

Fascinating. I had to test.

You are right, the "Attack my current Enemy" turrets of ships shoot at what you target. I was flying Peggy and watching, "painting" targets for the artillery.

That could also explain a few of the 'Turrets don't work' complaints where the player's current target is not in range of the ship with the turrets using that order.

I tend to fly my personal ship in the general vicinity of my capitals doing the heavy damage to enemy capitals or stations, and I personally try to keep enemy fighters or drones from distracting my heavy-hitters from their task. That means that my current targets are not the capitals' target and are generally unsuitable for heavy weapon turret engagement in any case.
