How severe is your issue? Can play, but it's highly frustrating
What happens when the bug occurs? I have the automatic ion cannonequipped but it doesn't appear ingame. I can activate it and even get the HUD message of the cannon being active, but nothing happens. My teammates confirmed the turret not being shown on the top of the cockpit and I myself can't see it during the opening/ending cutscene either. In Practice mode the Cannon functions as normal.
What do you expect to see? I want my automatic ion cannon back, please ☹️
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." Y-WIng
What components were you using? Rotary Cannon Automatic Ion Cannon Searchmine Seeker-Warheads Deflector hull Ray Shield Standard Engine

Anyone else having this issue? I love the turret in dogfights and am clearly missing out on auxiliary damage without it.

  • Fixed! The Ion cannon is now working properly in Dogfight again! Consider me happy cruisin Esseles in my sweet bomber =)

    Happy Halloween!! 🙌

    @LustigeLanguste 

    Sorry for my misunderstanding!

    Yes, I tested the Automatic ION cannon in Fleet Battle (Multi-player) and Training mode.

    BTW I am playing on PC. 😉

    Now, I see your point. My checking was not in Dogfight.

    (Y-wing's ION turret is very iconic, I really agree with you!)

    @JesuJuvaOU 

    Thank you for the information.

    That would be very helpful.

    More reports = more visibility = more fix possibility... maybe. 😳

    Really, it is fixed now? That's great news! I did not see the bug fix listed on the notes for patch 2.0, so I assumed they didn't get to it. I played some Y-wing last night, but had taken to using Goliath Missiles instead of the turret, so I didn't try it.

  • The Goliath is awesome, too. I've used it mostly for the last two weeks. Regarding the patch notes, yes, the fix isn't listed, but I've played 3 matches yesterday and was really relieved when the cannon started shooting. I suggest you go try it!
