Ship auto turret not firing

[Kirei]

Hey, so umm. I installed 2 different types of auto turrets on my ship, neither of them fired in combat. Thoughts?


Edit:
Surely one of these would fire

Saw another thread...it looks like the TURRET based weapons automatically fire....which kinda sucks cuz I wanted to board the ship I was fighting instead of destroying it. Anyways, either power down the turrets (mine are lasers) or put a different weapon if you so choose. The word auto in the weapon name doesn't mean they are auto firing.

The range for auto turrets is super short. I think the best one I've seen was 1500m. Most other guns have a range of like 5k so you gotta be up close for those auto turrets to start firing. You also need the skill to be able to use them.

Yall probably have them turned the wrong way. Flip them. They don't have a 360° firing arc and they may be aiming towards your ship instead of outwards.

My captured bank-ship lv 56 , auto turets have range of 3500m and shoot good just dont get in the aim modus.

I got the standard turrets with the shield breaker ship and haven't had any problems with them.

"Auto" turret are auto reloading (reloading faster)
But there are also 'Turret turret" + auto, bug seems to happen after having use the ship edition, lets see.

Disagree, 3K500 PB-330 are wrecking fleets of level 30 UC sysdef with a 135°V radius, i dont even have to look at them.

Still havent figured out why they dont shoot. They are powered on.

I have the same issue, but I am starting to think it's either one of the following things:

- Not in range
- May need skill points invested in starship design
- Turrets are not aligned correctly. The flight check of the ship won't see it as an error, but once they're not aligned correctly or facing the wrong direction, it also won't shoot anything.

Do you need the turret skill?

Do they have to be front facing our you could set them up to fire back? Like a tail gunner on B-17?

i had the same issue. They were working intermittently. I found that if they weren't fully powered, they wouldn't work... even then sometimes they don't work.

Theres control rooms you can build on your ship, I'm not far enough down the skill tree to use turrets.

[AoD_lexandro]

You need a control room, crew and the turret piloting skill to be able to use turrets.

Restarting the game tends to fix it for me, so I just quick save - close the game - reload the save - Turrets work

game's fine.
