Eject Lasertower puts it ~20k away

[alexdefelice]

When I eject a lasertower, it seems to spawn at a random distance and position, sometimes as far as 20km away from my ship. Any pointers on positioning, or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

If you eject things near a structure it tends to end up far away.

Try ejecting them when you are on a different ship and out of sector.

I'll give that try, thanks! I'm trying to defend a gate, it seems to eject behind the ship once I'm ~8km out.

I find that you can safely put lasertowers 5k away from a jumpgate but they need to be 8k away from a TOA
