    Shane, This may solve an old mystery:

    you reported occasionaly in the past: in Autopilot, a ship would fire missiles intermittently.

    This is probably a input issue, as I’ve discovered the following:

    If you don’t have the joystick connected but you have your controls configured to default.ini (joystick) all kinds of wierd things can happen when in autopilot approach or formate mode.

    – sometimes it fires missiles.
    – sometimes it fires PBCs (when you’re within range of an enemy)
    – sometimes the game will switch inexplicably to director mode

    Since, random things happen it is hard to get repeatable test results but you will repeatedly get some unexpected events if the joystick is not connected.
    I’ve also noted, this effect is more predominate when you have several .ini files (more than just one default and one keyboard only) in your configs folder.
