I noticed this problem a patch or two ago and I'm not sure if its an error on my part or a bug. When installing turrets on my most recent ship, I noticed that in testing, they wouldn't appear to target, fire, or even move. Upon further inspection I found that the turrets were moving albeit by an almost negligible amount. I thought that maybe I needed more rail mass enhancers (which I still don't quite understand the function of) but when I entered the turret myself, I found that the turret moved fine and that the turret would fire upon enemies when they passed in front of the barrel when the ai was enabled. The only explanations I have been able to come up with for the phenomenon are:
a) I really don't have enough mass enhancers either in my ship (which I slightly doubt as I filled most of the empty space of my ship with them) or in the turret itself (which I am unsure if they are required there).
b) The turret's targeting is bugged and it is targeting some far off target which I deduced from the fact that when observing the turret's movement, I noticed it sometimes appears to be moving towards nothing often times away from a visible target in target "any" mode.
The turrets themselves have 250 mass total and a cannon-beam system with 5000 range and the ship is 17,500 in mass and 18,000 with the turrets attached and I have 5000 mass enhancer blocks. The entity menu is telling me I have 19,300 mass enhanced which leads me to assume I should be fine in regards to rail slowdown. once again, I am well aware this could just be an error on my part but I just want to find out if anyone else is experiencing this issue and if anyone has a fix.
