Lead indicator only works for first weapon type added to ship
There’s a bug that’s prohibiting lead indicators from working on small grid ships (possibly large too, untested).
When creating a new ship, only the first weapon type added to the ship can generate a lead indicator when locked onto a target.
Quickest way to reproduce:
Start a new “Earth Planet” scenario. No mods, etc.
Hop in the “Deterrent MK1” fighter.
Lock on to ship directly ahead of you.
Swap between Gatling guns/rocket launcher, note that the lead indicator is present.
Add any other weapon to the ship, e.g. autocannon.
Add the new block weapon to the toolbar.
Lock the ship and switch to the new weapon, observe that there is no lead indicator.
It seems something has broken when adding new weapon types to a ship. Old blueprints can have multiple working weapons with lead indicators, but when adding any new weapons no lead indicator gets setup.
I have the same bug

Hello, Engineer!
Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues. Could you please confirm that the issue is happening with the controller? Could you please also check that you're assigning a block weapon from the Block Weapons category to the toolbar? Unfortunately we've been unable to reproduce it on our side so far, any other information you share would be appreciated.

I’ve clipped a pair of short videos showcasing the issue. I’ve also verified it affects all grids, large and small.

It’s also worth noting that the issue can be reproduced on any grid - these are just quick examples that can be easily replicated using the default scenarios in game.
Ships blueprinted before the bug appeared retain their lead indicators for all their existing weapon block types, however any new weapon types added won’t get lead indicators.
When building a brand new ship, only the first weapon type added to the ship will gain a lead indicator.
This issue affects every player I know on PS5, and judging by some Googling, has been around for 8 months ish
