Point defence stuck on HUD

I have point defence equipped on my Cobra and they are permanently displayed on my HUD even when weapons are retracted. Only way to get rid of them is by manually switching off the point defence in the modules menu.

Anyone else had this? Presumably a bug.
 
i have the same problem with my heat sinks... do you have heat sinks installed? seems when i turn my HS mod on or off.. the point defense pops up on the hud?!?!
 
Point Defence Turrets are currently broken, in terms of this selection.

FD did something to remove them from the list of "Fire Group" selectable items, but didn't quite get it right. The result: PD items mangle the weapons list in a big way.

Selling them fixes everything else.

Apparently, if you buy them LAST, your list of usable/selectable items might not get mangled - but I didn't test that theory personally. I just sold the PD.
 
I don't have heat sinks. I do remember reading that point defence were no longer meant to appear in HUD or fire groups. Should I ticket? I'm sure this will be fixed as in future updates as usual.

This game is uber amazing!!!!
 
Yeah they made some changes to how certain items work, and where they show up. Revisit the changelog for PB2: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=22812

The two relevant points from their long fix list:
"- Point defence weapons no longer listed in firegroups, they are activated and deactivated through modules
...
- Fix for HeatSinkLauncher being usable when unpowered. Now it needs to be powered and deployed, but is always deployed when powered"

what i'm doing when changing equipment:

buy, save and exit and THEN assign firegroups.
did not happen to me again since.
on reload, the weapons will be sorted another way...this might cause the heatsinks or pointdefense to be added to a firegroup because after buy the new weapon was in the place of the list where (after resorting) the pointdefense is.
