Newcomer / Intro Strange Weapon Malfunction. Lasers Not Working. Bug?

I am assuming this is a bug. But if it was a bug I thought thousands of cmdrs would have experienced it by now.

This has never happened to me, but in the last few days I have been doing ALOT of bounty hunting and assassination missions. It has happened 3 times.

My Corvette has 4 lasers.
  • During combat, my shields still good, taking no significant damage my lasers will all be working and then couple of my lasers will stop working.
  • My Plasma Accelerators all work fine. Clearly not a power distributor problem.
  • When combat is done the lasers are still not working.
  • Retracting and re-deploying hardpoints does not fix it.
  • My lasers are definitely configured active, 100% health, powered, and configured to fire groups.
  • All of my modules are at 100%, including power plant which is outputting 100%.
  • Rebooting the ship does NOT fix the problem. I tried multiple times.
  • Entering/exiting supercruise fixes the problem.

In your second pic, you've only got one pip to weapons. Have you tried fulls pips to weapons?
Yes, three pips were to weapons during combat. I moved the pips around after the combat was done. Then I took the screenshot.

Edit: Under normal circumstances the lasers work fine with only 1 or 0 pips. As long as the distributor is not depleted.
