If I have a continuous beam hitting my target, it's not my fault if someone flies into it. S**t happens in combat, some leeway is both sensible and necessary. Especially if it's just a glancing blow on the other ship's shields.

The patch notes suggests that its fixed. Nevertheless, I've had it happen MORE. Twice already today with pirates who were already targeting me.
ALL ships should have some tolerance towards stray shots, it shouldn't be a straight-off one-shot and BAM! you are an enemy.
Agreed!!
What if they don't have shields etc ?
Imagine you were walking down the street and pull a gun out and it goes off, the bulelt flying past someone's ear? Would you expect everyone just to go on with theri daily business?
I think all system authority vessels have shields, don't they?
Not a fair analogy, "being attacked by a pirate" isn't analagous to "walking down the street".Imagine you were walking down the street and pull a gun out and it goes off, the bulelt flying past someone's ear? Would you expect everyone just to go on with theri daily business?
While I agree totally with you, how would it work if it was a one shot accidental fire hit. For example a rail gun or cannon fire? Its one shot but it packs a helluva punch. Maybe those weapons would have to be an exception to the rule.

I meant a one shot weapon shot...where did the edit button go?
You need to hit Reply, silly
No Jambo, there's usually an edit post button to the left of the reply button!
No idea where its gone in this thread! weird
Is it at all possible to get a download size indication on the progress bar when updating? Some of us live in areas that don't have the amazing internet speeds and data limits that you are obviously enjoying (eg - I'm stuck on 15gig per month at 200KB/s wireless broadband). I have to always just "hope for the best" with these updates and assume it's not going to chew through another 4 GB or similar. I understand the updates are incremental, but some of us really need to plan and allocate our minimal data plans. Steam and other systems are the same. They just assume everyone has the internet plans available to them that they take for granted.
I havr the same thing. there are some 'fixed' on the forums, that have helped some. Alas, not I.... but maybe you will have better luck.
I whole-heartedly agree with this. Something like the X-trilogy would be nice: strikes on friendlies would aggravate them and result in a verbal warning. Continued attacks would result in them flagging as hostile and retaliating. Larger ships had more tolerance, stronger weapons aggravated more quickly. Did a very good job of sorting misfire from treason.
I just discovered what my problem of somehow shooting the police my auto turreted weapons was set to fire at will by default instead set for only my target. In order words fire at anything and all around me thus hitting the police boats.
[h=3]I have a turreted weapon on my ship, but it's refusing to fire/firing when I don't want it to. What's going on?[/h] Turreted weapons provide full automation for the pilot who likes things to look after themselves. They are able to be set to 3 modes, via the right side panel Functions tab, Turret Weapon Mode option. Here you can set them to the following:
Forward Firing - they will act exactly as if they were standard, fixed mounted weapons, firing only on pilot trigger pulls.
Target Only - automated setting, will only fire on enemies that are targeted by the pilot.
Fire at Will - automated setting, will fire at any enemy targets that come within range.
So I set it to Target Only much much better I can feel at ease targeting the wanted and firing away, even if there are bats flying all around me.
