Trouble with boarding
I have problem with boarding. Some times when I boarding, I try to select turret, and she don't selected. I try again... and again... and again... and I can't select her... This problem appear when I try to select shield too.
It does not happen often... But problem is there. While I try to select, cap ship is killing me... When turret don't selected it's problem to shutting here.

Unfortunately we cannot directly select surface elements like those if they are under the red targeting square for the ship in question. Trying to do so just selects the ship instead of the surface element.
If this is the cause of this periodic issue, you could try moving closer to the surface elements and maneuvering around the hull until part of it is visible outside the red box. There are also ship upgrades available from Mechanics that offer hotkeys for selecting surface elements in front of our sights (regardless of red box position) and for cycling though them.

Hi, you're welcome. Sorry, it probably wasn't well described.
It's the hollow box over the middle of the ship that we can click on to select the ship. Red for hostile targets or blue for others.
In the following picture, you can see a blue one around the centre area of the Scaldis on the left, and a red on over the selected Domelch in the distance (in the middle of the screen).

Is the turret inside the ship target box? If so then you are constantly clicking that and not the turret. Try to reposition yourself so that your target is outside the ship's target box
Look at the pic in the post above. You will see a capital ship on the left, what you see around it is it's blue targeting box, if you click any of it's turrets, shields, etc inside that square, you will instead just target the ship as a whole. That is what is happening to you! I found this very irritating before I figured this out

Ok, I show you how I see a cap ship and turret

In this position I can't select a turret. My ship is not outside a target, not behind a cap ship. I see all turret, and I click on her, but some times they don't select. Why... I don't know. Maybe this is a bug.
