Sova Turrets

Dropping with no enenmy present.

I'm having Sova's drop their combat turrets when on autocast even when no enemy is present.  Is that where it's been?  I thought they had corrected that?

I noticed that for some abilities if you click on it a certain way it will keep using the ability when the cool down expires until it no longer is able to use it (i.e. out of antimatter), that may be the cause of this.

I hadn't noticed this happening over the past few weeks and suddenly it was non-stop.  Just wondered what was up.

This is only a suspicion but I think it automatically drops turrets when it's being attacked, even if by strikecraft (which the turrets obviously can't hit) - it might also drop them right after warping from a well with an enemy starbase due to the hull damage caused.

Or did you see it happening in other cases as well?

I jump into a star or planet system with no enemies present and from a non-enemy planet and the turrets start auto-deploying, ad infinitum.

I can't reproduce this.

It is odd--it wasn't happening before--not that I noticed--and then suddenly it was.  I'll try playing a tech game again and see if I can record it.  I noticed because I had six Sova's and all of them were dropping.

You don't have the auto-record saved? That'd save you a lot of play-time.

I usually disable it for memory use.
