No weapon points for Turret weapon

Sep 09, 2015 NX-74205 link
Hello!

I just realized that I do not get any weapon points when killing a bot with the "Gemini Homing Missile Turret".

If I use the regular Light-Port weapon "Gemini Homing Missile Launcher" I get "Light Weapons +35". Same if using a different Turret Port weapon, "Neutron Blaster MkII" for example, I get the same +35.
Just with Gemini Turret this does not work.

This isn't a bug, this is a natural thing in the Game

Sorry.

Hello, thanks for your answer!

I just fail to see what is "natural" in this... Could you please elaborate this a bit...?

Killing someone inside a turret and getting liscense points makes the gameplay bad.

Why? Because it makes it easier for players to increase their combat and weapons liscenses, which is looked down upon.

And the fact that you're inside someone else's ship.

Thanks for the explanation! :-)

However – why does this depend on the turret weapon you are using? There seem to be turret weapons you get points with and turret weapons you don't. This is not very logical and might be a bug anyway.

Which ones do you get points for?

Hi arf,
as I said in my first post: "Neutron Blaster MkII" (Turret).

So that's the only one? I don't get any points for Capgauss or Swarm Turret kills.

You are right, this might be the only one.

However it's a bug in any case: Either the Neutron Blaster should _not_ give you points also, or the other turrets should give you points.

I would like the latter because it's _your_ ship, _your_ turret and it's _you_ who operates it.

Not always. There's NPC ships you can dock on and operate their turrets and you can even invite other players onboard your Atlas or Behemoth with /gunner invite.
