Lol they even said that they weren't really listening to the people in the beta if you watch the interview. So it doesn't surprise me it made it through.

Do you have a link for the interview of which you speak?
Of course not. We take it a step further and create a PDS system that doesn't always work. They call it the CWIS. The designers and military brass designated it as 'Close In Weapons System', but the people that have to use it to defend themselves came up with a more accurate description.
Crap! It Won't Shoot!
Overachieving at underperformance is how weapons contractors make their money after all.

I stand corrected...
I forgot the US does have a bit of a record for friendly / unfriendly fire...
Me too :/
So when I read this I did a bit of a face palm, I was preparing to defend FD in another thread and then saw this one and kinda thought yeah, I'll stay quiet right now then!!! I sat back, thought about it and then thought how funny it really is. When I watched the video I couldn't help but see the funny side.
Yeah its a bug and it's symptomatic of many many issues that are mundane and boring.... but bloody hell it's funny.... and funny makes me happy, so I'll not hold this one against FD

this happens when the executive producer begins in such a state of development to copy paste exploration stats from the game database into the forum...
I'm OK with this. Missiles are for the weak.
Since dumbfires can't lock and thus don't have a target, it seems shady at being able to pick out missiles with defense turret. I don't think the turret should attack anything not maintaining a lock.

I didn't believe this when I saw it last night and frankly, I still have difficulties.
Last year's Ubisoft fiasco pile-up has already been thrown the gauntlet. And it's only February!
In all seriousness Frontier, there are other ways to steal a spotlight you know!

How dare you. People have clearly stated that you are not listening/communicate to the community. Proving them wrong all the time will make you loose a lot of customers.
Best thread ever.
That's why I call it the Princess Diana Turret - it works tirelessly for a galaxy without mines:

Put it in GalNet as a PD system product recall on faulty PD's.
Raised a ticket on the Python Decal bug. (left decal doesn't show, right decal shows both sides). Doesn't happen on my Anaconda, so not a general bug. Time to issue the "L" and "R" wellingtons to somebody!!
