Sadly, I'm still seeing this behavior in v1.75 trunk builds as recently as Feb 10, 2011
...haven't tested Feb 11th yet.

Worse, I've even seen ships firing through the main system station and even 2 Thargons flew through it! :shock:

Confirmed, I just had a ship sitting opposite me with a rock hermit between us and it was shooting clearly through the hermit.

Edit: Happens also with stations, click on image to enlarge. Two vipers are on the opposite side of the station, continuously firing through it.

Also confirmed with current trunk. However, this should be a new bug as my fix was in R4051 and with R4220 things were still as it should.

EDIT: Ahruman just fixed this laser problem in R4343
