Turret, Tractor beam and damaged items

Great project! .. and improving all the time.

I just upgraded my ship to Centurion with all good stuff. Rear turret seems very hard to use. After getting to some floating cargo and switching to turret (F5), I can't rotate the ship to get at it. Can't remember what the original did.

Next I sold the turret, ditched a missile and put a tractor beam on the front. This won't pull anything in - (no cargo in hold). I am sure I have seen this work in PR 1.0

Next I go back to ship dealer in New Const (warranty complaint) and a "Damaged" category appears in the left screen - but my ship is fully repaired. Under "Damaged" are the missiles, weapons and various other items.

Is it possible I managed to sell something damaged to the ship dealer?

Is this OK to keep going - or do I need to reload to a previous game?
 
can't help ya with the damaged thing, but when u enter the turret u are (and ur chaacter ingame too) inside the turret, he wouldn't be crazy enough to fly a ship without sight, even in freespace, u know nasty little pirates lurkin everywhere.

but i can tell u how i looted cargo with my old centurion in the orig.

take the cargo as target, lock it, switch to ur turret and use secondary fire for the beam
