Turret bug at Conquerable station in Latos I-8

Sep 28, 2011 mrGarvin link
Hi.
Yesterday there was a ion storm in Latos I-8 and when I jumped from the sector the turrets attacked me. I didn't see any turrets so I returned to I-8 and found a turret but it didn't attack. When I jumped from the sector the turrets attacked again. They hit me but I didn't take any damage. I have docking rights for the station.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah, they forget you're a friendly as you jump out during ion storms.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a thread buried a few pages back where this was reported. They dont do any damage anymore though.

This still happens in all the conquerable station sectors, and it does do damage, and will kill you. Annoying. Happens in a storm when the exit is near the station.

It won't kill you if you're the one jumping out. Anyone caught in the crossfire is toast though. :D

They actually forget you're friendly every time you jump out, it's just when there's no storm you're usually out of range.

It won't kill you if you're the one jumping out.

It can. It happened in Bractus on Tuesday before I posted here. I was the only one in the sector and the turrets destroyed me. It can be prevented by turboing as you jump.

I just did it today in Latos I-8 and watched like 5 capgauss hit my Raptor at a dead stop. Zero damage.

I've had it not kill or damage me as well. I don't know why it did this time. Maybe it's intermittent, or maybe dependent on what type of key you have, or maybe something else. It's really irrelevant though. They shouldn't be shooting at us at all.

I believe the key has two settings, docking and iff. The iff should prevent the turrets from shooting you.
However, if they are shooting you, you should be taking damage. So it seems that these are two separate problems.

Ray, it's fine when you're in the sector. This is an anomaly that happens when you jump out during a storm. They momentarily treat you as hostile during the jump animation.
