When firing a Missile-Missile weapon from a station they don't collide with the station blocks and can impact with anything that is inside, killing astronauts or destroying undocked ships that are within the station walls.

Steps to reproduce
1: Create a station with power reactors and a closed room (with a door so you can enter later).
2: Place 2 missile computers with some modules each, outside the room, connecting one of the computers as a secondary to get the heatseeker missiles.
4: Place a button inside the room and connect it to the main missile computer.
5: Press the button in astronaut mode while standing inside the closed room.
6: The missiles will target and kill you, going through the station walls.

Rejecting, not a bug, just the result of a mechanic that prevents your own weapons from hitting the ship it's on. Needs to be changed at some point perhaps, or become a config option.
Without this mechanic, you would always need to make sure there's empty space in front of any weapon which is quite a big design change.

What I had in mind was to prevent the heatseekers to target astronauts that are aligned to the same base/ship the missiles were launched from.
That would solve the issue without making a big design change, at least in gameplay.
Weapons going through the entity they were fired from is not a bug as you say.
But please, consider that weapons targeting astronauts in the same entity may be a bug because when combined with that go-through-entity mechanic, it prevents having any players walking around in a ship that is firing a missile-missile weapon.
