Haunted lasers

Don't know if anyone else has had this issue but be warned that that turreted lasers seem to be haunted by a murderous entity.

On 2 occasions now they have started firing on ships with clean statuses and on one of those they killed the ship before I noticed they were shooting behind me giving me not only a wanted status but also a 6k fine :)

Not sure if the issue is ship specific but just in case I had them on my Cobra MkIII. going to take them off now and ticket the problem.

Turrets have three fire modes:
- fire at will (default setting, attacking anything that moves.)
- fire on my target
- and fixed forward, to use as a fixed variant.

Check your turret config in your systems right ui panel, under functions turret mode;)

I think the turrets fire at perceived enemies in autonomous mode, which may include people you have unfriendly relations with or who have just hit you for some reason or are downright hostile, but not yet scanned. All of those result in bounties in the Elite world.

The issue may be the ships are red to you.

Let me give you an example. Go to a nav point, shoot faction x ship, those clean faction x ships you didnt shoot now turns red. They dont shoot you, but they are red.

Turrets are not worth the hastle. You get little control over what they actually shoot at (or won't shoot at).

If you have them on target only and you switch to a another target for a second, they are likely to start shooting at them and get you a bounty. They won't stop until you turn them off either.

If set to "fire on my target", will PDS work in the same way?

I don't think so,
the Point Defense System is an autonomous turret only targetting missile like weapons with lock on,
homing mines and limpets.

They used to be able to target enemy ships in a stage of PB if i remember correctly.
