Anyone know if they have fixed the bug that prevents tractor beams and mining equipment from being used in turrets?
since this is a critical part in the functionality of the Y-8, its pretty important that they fix this as well as making the Y-8 a better ship.
they could add all the extra turrets they want and if we cant mine out of em, we're still up a creek without a paddle, or boat for that matter.

Not sure mate. Last time I went do do some mining with a friend in his Y-8 tractor beam didn't really help. We ended up chasing small rocks around ... with no visible progress. I would love to see Y-8 have some serious tractor beam that can haul in big chunks of asteroids without us shooting them to pieces.

I was able to use the quest reward tractor beam in a turret in my Y-8 last week. There were 2 of us, mining laser in the pilot's weapon slot and tractor beam in the top. It was hard though because the arc of the top turret does not intersect with the main gun. The publish 24 turret placements will make a big difference.

Works fine with a krayt.
2 mining laser's (Center guns, slots 1+2?)
Tractor beam (turret, slot 3?)
Your best gun for protection (Wing tips, slot 4?)
