I can shoot at asteroids all day with the mining laser turrets and not spawn a single asteroid chunk.

It has major issues while using boosters too. All YPR input is reversed when the booster energy is consumed! YPR input returns to normal when the ship returns to normal speed. It also warps backwards a couple hundred meters after boosting.

Don't think the Y-8 can use anything except the Elite mining Laser.

What a suprise.

Its a turd anyway, quite clearly the most poorly concieved ship yet.

Don't know if that's true or not, wouldn't know a reason for it; but it doesn't matter anyway, as the same issue affects the Elite Mining Laser.

Try unloading the weapons in your Y-8. Then load weapon 0, then weapon 1, and then weapon 2. I had loaded them in a different order and had trouble with it. After loading them in order like that it worked fine. Still mine faster in a fighter, but the laser does work.

Been a bug since beta... occasionally the main gun won't do any damage at all. Hopefully will see a fix soon

One of the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire was, lacking the number 0, they had no way to indicate successful return from their C programs.

The booster thing is a problem for all POB ships, and judging from the fact it's been like that from the beginning (or at least when I got my first YT-1300), I rather doubt we'll see a fix on it any time soon.

Its guns not doing any damage, however, is something that might get addressed relatively speedily.

Can somebody explain how we are supposed to operate this ship? Which slot do I put each weapon in? Once i've launched do I have to use the operation station for anything or can I stay in the pilots chair. I'm sooooo confused...

My Y-8 won't allow me to place more than a grand total of 1 item. I also have the mining problem...*sighs*

I can't get mine to re-deed. The button just doesn't do anything. I figured if i need to take a crew up to mine with it, I can't use it. Nobody I know wants to spend their time shooting at things that don't give xp.

So a friend and I just figured out why turrets stop working, at least on his y-8....the minute the pilot leaves the pilot chair the turrets on the y-8 stops makin' chunks. Pilot sits back down and it works again. Then with an elite mining gun for the pilot, you can shoot from the pilots chair and blow chunks off the astroid, but you would not get anything in your cargo hold from shooting the small ones. So we'd have the pilot shoot off a bunch of chunks and then blast them with the turret to get them as cargo...unfortuantely I think we just crashed Bloodfin making so many asteroids.

That's what we get for trying to figure out a way to make this piece of junk work.
