Devs,
I run my spider with an ER LL and a med laser plus a tag.
Since the patch, for some reason, the ER LL has a delay reminiscent of the ballistic/PPC fire delay (click... delay... fires).
The medium laser nor tag have this delay.
Simple test:
Standing still, set all weapons to fire in one group...
click...
med laser and tag fire instantly.
ER LL fires about half a second later.
Even by itself the ER LL has a firing delay. It is not lag since the med laser is responding instantly.
What is this??????

i'm inclined to believe you but

can't be bothered to run the game and see for myself.

I'd ask what your ping number is and blame lag, but... I'll probably get the PGI "Working as intended" answer.

Uh oh.. Now they're starting to implement ghost chain fire!
Jesting aside, I'll test this on my spider too.
Edit: No delay for me.

There can't be a delay now, unless your client got a problem with HSR. If it's lag, you'll be able to shoot normally, however your shots will not hit the intended target.

You can't take a screenie of firing delay 
Like I said in my original post.. the medium laser IS firing instantly when clicked. The ER LL isn't. Its not a lag issue (it would affect both if so). Its not chain fire either (happens if ER LL fired solo too).

Weapon door is closed. I had this issue. press the / key to open it each game. NOWHERE on your screen will it indicate, but you hear a tiny beep sound when it opens.

Sounds like a bug. Report it. And no, this thread doesn't count. Fraps video would help a lot but if you can't just write a bug report.

Sorry, did I miss something, but I was given to understand only missile tubes had doors and only on specific models?
