Certain ships can fire way off-axis

Post by Miramor »

I just got whupped by three Nicanders, which somehow seemed to be able to shoot me while circling around me and facing 90 degrees away. One even hit me with a full barrage while fleeing - and it appeared to be facing away rather than using autoslide.

I get the feeling that these Aera ships are supposed to have autotracking, but it seems to be a little bit too good...

Most of those shots looked like photon gun rounds. It's a possibility though.

Edit: Also, photon-swarm and javelin missiles don't lock.
