My ship won't fire, and neither will the enemy

[ElonSatoshi]

Observed behaviour

I have beam lasers installed, but nothing happens when I left click while holding right click, or when I press space. Also, a hostile ship doesn't seem to be attacking me except by trying to ram me.

Expected behaviour

Steps to reproduce

Just a guess:

1. Have an earlier version of Pioneer
2. Fire lasers past the point of overheating, which is allowed due to a bug which I heard was fixed in master
3. Update Pioneer to 20250501
4. Partake in dangerous delivery missions until you get intercepted
5. Try to fight back

My pioneer version (and OS): 20250501

OS: Fedora Secureblue

My output.txt (required) and game save (optional, but recommended)

lasers won't fire.gz

.gz added to the end because it won't let me upload otherwise??

The folks on Discord helped me find 2 solutions:

1. Open the console and run require'Game'.player:GetComponent'GunManager':SetGroupFireWithoutTargeting(0, true) and the lazers work again
2. There is also a save recovery feature, it can be forced by holding ctrl while loading a save

Was the issue something related to using an old save?

Was the mission accepted from a previous version of pioneer?

If not, this still sounds like a bug to me.

Hmm, yeah maybe we can leave it open in case it's something the devs need to look at
