Are your turrets supposed to shoot your missiles???

^^ As above, testing ships in single player but my own point defense keeps on shooting down my own missiles :/
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way I can avoid this? (My ship is factioned)
If not then ill submit a bug report
Thanks!

no, totally not, but I believe real world systems wouldn't be able to make a difference to friendly missiles and hostile missiles.
assuming that the system wouldn't be controlled by a human, this is a guess though :D
you can avoid it in 3 ways as far as I know:
1 stop using PDT
2 stop using missiles
3 swarm your own PDT

my point defense turrets did not shoot down my ship's missiles or a friendly factioned ships missiles right next to it, just tested.

They did shoot down missiles from a neutral ship I was in though.


... you done goofed? What else was happening?

They dont shoot down missiles from my ship, ONLY from some of my ships missile turrents.
They all have faction moduals, but I dont think that all of them have been manually set since docked entities are give a blanket 'factioned'.
It must be treating those turrents missiles as netural I think, ill try manualy facioning them
