    Im having a serious problem lately. I cannot fire Salvage beams or Cannons on any ship, In Singleplayer and on Servers. It drains Energy and It makes a cooldown, but nothing happens. But if i sit in the Salvage/Cannon Computer, i have no problem shooting.

    For footage see:

    The computers seem to be set-up sideways. The way the computer faces determines the direction of the shot.

    Changing the Direction of the Computers doesnt change anything

    No matter what i do, even if i change the direction the Computer is facing, cannons or salvage beams always shoot the wrong direction, but any other weapon is fine, And it works normally only if i sit in the pc itself

    possibly built the ship sideways?

    Turning the bobby-ai wrong should not affect it, but if you somehow built the ship with "front facing right" you could possibly operate it normally in a camera module, but the ai cant really use it.

    I am 100% sure that its facing the correct way.
    My (unfinished) battleship has the problems with the cannons too, and not a long time ago they worked perfectly fine, the problem with the cannons and beams was just suddenly there.

    Is there a chance you built it on a server and I can jump in and check it out?

    Problem fixed, after rebuilding the salvage systems for what felt like the 100th time it somehow worked again, but i still dont know what caused the issue, because it was the same setup like when it wasnt working :/
