Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Anyone ever notice that your ship is facing one direction when viewed from your perspective but facing another direction when viewed from say your alt's perspective? This is not a big deal but could falsely indicate that a potential target is aligned or not.

The other end of this is mining laser assignment. On a hulk you have three. Fore, midships and aft. If you assign them so that they go to specific roids, then view them from another player's view point (alt) the lasers are not attached to the correct mining turrets. The fore and aft lasers are swapped.

None of this is any big deal at all. It's just "one of the little things" and should be easy enough to fix.

What is a big deal is being told as an answer to a bug report that "The problem you have described is an intended game feature or function, and not a bug." REALLY ?? That is the best you could do ? I'd rather have been told, "we're looking into it" (with no probable intent) and I'd have gone away quietly. Please explain how this could be used as a feature ???

Since my "confirmation of bug report" had the tag "Filtered" I suspect that it was filtered to the "we don't care about the little things" bucket and that the "intended game feature" was from a CCP Bot However, it is still bad code. It can be corrected. It is a little thing, but it is a mistake.
