The original problem viewtopic.php?t=127656 is marked as resolved, so I create a new one, because there is new information.

Just to refresh: the problem is that platforms get unexpected huge damage if the player does not look at them. If it do, everything ok.

Look at the picture. The railgun shoots somewhere far, outside the screen, when there is an extremely dangerous obstacle just in front of it. It looks like a targeting problem: some asteroids are ignored. Such things never happen if I watch the transition of a ship.

Here the save. Just load and quickly switch to the Aurora platform.

Not a bug. Obstacle just in front and obstacle "outside of the screen" are both within railgun turret range and turret is free to choose any target that is in range and matches filters. There are no rules saying it should target an obstacle that is just in front of.

Obviously, the nearest obstacle appeared much before the the one been destroyed on the screenshot. Why is it alive at the moment of appearing of the asteroid destroyed?
