no targetting

My omni turbolaser and omni ionblaster fail to target specific stations and stationsupport.
Case 1 was a pirate miningstation where i cannot automatically target the supporting turrets, they shoot with 3 white bullets at a time in an arc, they do blastdamage i think (sorry, i don't recall the proper name now). The station itself is correctly targetted.
Case 2 was a Kobol warlord station, my weapon just ignores it.
In both cases i would (eventually) find the target after hitting 'T'.

The weapon is a Shtorm repeater. I noticed the non-targeting as well with the same turrets and station. I think it's a good idea to have some things not always capable to target by weapon but must use the targeting key.

If this was an oversight, I'd say leave it be as is.

A repeater, that's right! The Ares have a station with similar turretted layout, what happens to targetting there?
