    It is most noticeable with beams. Whenever you have a by logic activated computer the weapons will fire focussed on the spot your ship was pointing at when it was first activated. And it is most noticeable with beams because whenever your ship moves the beam, that then still is firing, will try to keep firing at that point. This makes logic activated beams, especially constant fire beams, feel very strange to control.

    So one solution would just be to have the weapons fire as if they were being fired unfocussed by the player and have the beams move with the ship.

    Another solution would be to have an option that would make the beam either move with the ship or fire at the point it was aimed at when first activated.

    This would allow for logic activated tools to be docked to ships, better weapons fire and just a better logic experience in general while using it to activate beams.

    The current behavior sounds more or less like a bug. I kind of doubt that was intended.
