UPDATE to simoto, works fine after installing from single installer. Have no idea what was wrong with it.

As for major caliber turrets, I took star hammer for a spin after getting free time. that baby can mount those heavy caliber turrets. I also bought AK47 mk2 in goblin wizard shipyard. When mounted in turret I get red white art placeholder instead of turret and turret doesn't fire (predictably).

I seem to be experiencing free roaming as well. I didn't go after astarte, I just went to cassily and from there became errand boy for New empire. Maybe it's related to the fact that I hired additional pilots from canteen?
Attempting with autosave before free time. will post results

As for bug, I uncovered it accidentally (as most bugs are found) and really it's not that difficult to exploit, when on perks screen in station, the upper right button displays text return to trading screen and seem logical to press it instead of pressing continue in the bottom of screen.
