    Are turrets not able to be directly targeted anymore? Tried attacking a pirate station, and lock on missiles weren't catching on the turrets but only on the station.

    I have a reversed problem, my turrets will not aim at the station, just its turrets, and i can see the station in the nav panel.

    The turrets won't fire at an entity that doesn't have active AI. That's why it won't shoot the station.

    No idea how the reverse could happen though @OP. Are you using "fire at selected"? Do the turrets have an active AI? The AI also has a tendency to get fixated, so if it starts shooting the station it won't target anything else until the station is "dead".
