Missile turrets on stations dont work?

[Nemesis_87]

Hi, i have a defence station and thought il throw on some missile defence for that extra bit of range, currently stocked with 10k dumbfire missiles and to attack capital ships but i have watched this station destroy many fleets and yet it never uses its missiles, do they fire for anyone else or is it just me and im missing something?

i think u need to set all turret to defense. attack all enemies on station doesn't trigger anything atm. im on 3.2

Ah that sucks if they only work in defence, because i dont want my heavy dumbfires being launched at fighters

You can set turrets to attack capital ships

[Nemesis_87]

i did, they never fire though

Stations is defensive only, if the enemy doesn't shoot at them, they won't attack.

Not sure if that is the reason for your issue, but most people seem to think they can make a defense station and use it as an offensive weapon. Even adding a wing to a station doesn't make the station react to them getting shot, only direct attacks on the station is meet with retaliation.

Well, all none missile turrets work perfectly fine, ships come through the gate and they get destroyed in moments before they even get to attack, just missile ones dont do anything even when the station is damaged

Sounds like a bug then, upload a save and submit in the technical support area for them to look at.

Aye problem is they dont really look at modded games

I was planning to utilize missile turrets on a certain station I'm building for someone to help them defend against sieges from destroyers, once I get to that part and if the turrets don't work I'll upload a file since I'm on vanilla.
