I disagree because it never was authentic, and was always annoying in terms of gameplay.
The bullets never did hurt your own ship, then how was it authentic?
Regarding the gameplay i always thought it was annoying. The only ship that has this is the pyra. And that must be fixed because next to none other ships have this.
The spire had this where you had the mine on slot 2 (Upper right) and try to shoot it infront of the spire, and high, you would hit either the cord or the front ram.
