While playing earlier, I was on the Itani cap ship during the battle in Sedina B8. I selected a gun turret and tried to man it, but before it would let me in, the turet was destroyed. What this now meant was that somehow I was supposedly inside the turret - although I was still in the cap ship menu.

It would let me chat and look at the map, but I could not go to another turret, and I could not exit the ship. I couldn't even /explode. So pretty much all I could have done was sit inside the cap ship until it was destroyed and I would get sent back to my home station.

I did find it somewhat amusing, to be honest...but this might be something to check into.

If you could see the map, you were not considered to be in the turret. When you say that you couldn't go to another turret, could you see the turret list? If so, what did it look like? If not, did you hit the Turret tab? It wouldn't let you /explode because you were technically in a station interface.
Did you try the leave ship button, and if so, what happened?

This sometimes happens, with stations, too. Log off and log on.

well, what happened is i tried to enter a turret - but before i could get into it, it was destroyed. I then could not exit the ship at all, just stuck on the menu. It was as if it was trying to load the destroyed turret or something.

The best explanation i had was that i was somehow in both the turret and the menu at once, very strange. I was able to see the turret list, but couldnt go to them, yet couldn't exit the ship either.

I suppose it was just the station bug Solra described?

I also noticed that after a jump, sometimes the turret would stop moving. I'd have to leave a turret and re-enter it so it will move again.

I think I fixed the 'stop moving after jump' problem.
As for failing to enter a turret, There are 3 reasons you may not be able to enter the turret and all 3 are properly handled as far as I know: 1) turret has been destroyed, 2) someone else took control of the turret before you did, 3) you are already controlling a turret.

If you are having this problem of not being able to control a turret, please set verbose mode to at least 3 with: /verbose 3 in the console and then send the errors.log file to me with an explaination.

i think his problem was that he selected an availible turret, and while he was loading into it it was destroyed...

Ok, yeah, there's a possible race condition when the 'EnterTurret' msg and the 'LeaveTurret' (because it was then destroyed) msg are sent so close together that they come into the client in the wrong order.
