Negative, in version 0.200.172 cross-sector beams still only reduce AHP, no actual damage to blocks.

putting in queue
cant test properly right now due to turret bug in Dev build.

The problem is this makes the extra outputs not have any penalty for power. Due to the logarithmic scaling of cannons/beam penetration with group size, more outputs is very powerful for destroying blocks.

OK .. that makes sense now ^^

the point is ... how is that an exploit as long as the AI can only fire on ONE spot with all outputs?

Ok . .so we do agree on the workings of it.

Yes, they seem to be targeting the same spot, as if it was a single weapon. AI seems to be simply shooting all weapons simultaneosly. Ya, basically in excahnge for using a bunch of computers you can negate the 10% penalty. This becomes a lot worse on bigger ships where the computers make a very small portion of the turret.

So .. Copying multiple Weapons (Blocks+Controller) to a single turret is circumventing the 10% penalty on multiple outputs.
However all those outputs from one turret are targeting the same spot on an enemy, right ?
Basically you are wasting all the Controller Blocks Space on the turret for the same effect as you would get for a turret with one output and the same amount of Blocks ?
Because the AI isnt able to choose unfocused fire.

Glad to hear this, thank you for the feedback.

Bug no longer appears to be present in the latest release, beams are doing propper block damage cross sector in all cases I can think of to test.

Missiles lock on fine when used against a target that has systems.
If it doesn't have systems, the missiles will target its Center of Mass which seems to be completely misaligned of the actual Center of Mass. It's not really going for a neighbouring sector, but the CoM used for targeting definitely moves when editing your target although not in the way it should.

Thanks for the useful feedback but unfortunately no luck with reproducing it myself, fired the weapon constantly for more than 5 minutes. Every shot did damage and no exception found in the log files.

I recall (But not tested recently at all) that missile damage also depends partially on the side of the entity hit. A perfect hit to a flat side facing galactic North isnt always the same as a perfect hit from any other side. Could be worth double checking

Still fine.

Nevermind...It's consistent, this is the case for no explosive effect too. I do not remember the missile radius looking this odd before, will have to downgrade and check an older version.
