Concern with weapons...
I found what I think is a bug, not sure.
I'm still in the newb free ship with simple laser, but I noticed when engaging a target, that the target recticle will jump around a little bit, which makes targeting and firing a little more difficult.
There are two recticles that I'm talking about, one is your ships firing/weapons recticle, and the other is the target recticle that predicts firing lead so you actually hit the target.
When firing on a target, the enemy ship's target recticle will jump around slightly when around or inside my firing/weapons recticle.
I don't think it should jump around like that because the enemy ship is moving, but is doing so smoothly & slowly.
Another thing, the target recticle, once in my firing recticle, turns yellow to indicate it's a good shot, otherwise it's red. I think it should be the other way around. The target recticle should be yellow until you have it within your firing recticle and it's a good shot; then it should turn red. imo. thanks.

i think the jumping target reticle comes from the target changing directions.
The autoaim probably doesn't refresh all that often. I've noticed it jumping myself when someone close to me starts to turbo in a fast ship - it jumps in clear intervals until they hit their top speed.
