Starmade | Cannon/Missile Turret overshooting

Description

Hello, first ticket so new at this. Sense the speed increase of the Cannon/Missile wepeon systems from 0.5 - 2.0 max ship speed my turrets went from barley missing an AI moving ship to over shooting the target by a large degree. My ship was also not moving so only the AI ship was moving during these tests. Even at almost point blank range 200-300 the dumb fire missiles are missing by a mile where before that would not be an issue unless target was very fast or very small and the default AI ships are neither. Like i said at that distance prior to the patch it would have no issues hitting its target.

It is pretty easy to replicate all you need to do is through a stationary turret down and spawn in any default AI ship.

I suspect its an easy fix because of how far the turret is leading its target the speed of the missle was changed but the calculation for aiming was not and probably just needs to be upped to acount for the new missle speed of 6 times greater then it was.

Hope this helps.

Found that the farther they are the greater the misses. Also, with the close up targets, the targets where hit the first few times, but then gradually started missing more..

-Build a missile turret with cannon as a slave.
-Activate ai
-Misses target by a large margin.

We had an issue with that before on anti missile turrets missing missiles. That was completely fixed though and it was fine when buffing or nerfing missile speed. At least for anti missile turrets.

I'll try some extreme examples and see if AI adapts to it or not.

lancake renamed this task from Cannon/Missile Turret overshooting ( probably because missile speed increases and targeting calculations need to be updated, my guess) to Cannon/Missile Turret overshooting.
lancake triaged this task as Normal priority.

T53 is about beams leading their target, could be related to this issue.

So far cannon and guided missile systems are working fine.. Are you still having these issues?

Yes issue still persists. Not sure i follow your "cannon and guided systems" as that is not what the ticket is for.

Its the missile with cannon slave that is over shooting targets so not sure what you mean by "cannon and guided". I have had no issues with guided missiles(missile/plus) or any of the cannon systems.

However the missile slaved with cannon AI turret is overshooting its target even at point black range( ~100).

I suspect that it has something to do with the speed increases of that combination 1-2 patches ago.

Perhaps that weapons system projectile speed was increased but the calculations for targeting were not now causing the weapons system to overshoot its target constantly and consistently.

Thank you for the additional data :) I will test that.
