Nice, and yeah, finally. Question, do missiles do the same?
Nope.
The guns have been doing that since June though, so nothing new.
Where was this Navigator post, Soter?
It's a legit post, linked on the forums, search devposts.
And no, guns never 'missed' their targets in the past 8 years of eve online. You can tell because lasers never 'trace' past their targets.
Autocannons sometimes lag their targets or 'sorta miss' because their animation is so wild/random. But this is indeed the real deal. For example, failheap challenge is going completely ape-crazy about it in excitement/bittervet brainsplosion.
