Help...I have tried everything I can think of...


I have a Y Wing with the standard 2 weapon slots (projectile) 1 missle slot (ordanance) and of course countermeassures (chaff)


I fill all the slots with a weapon and still have power left in the reactor for a bit more (so I am not overpowered).


I put a Ion cannon in weapon slot 1, a disruptor in weapon slot 2, proton missles in ordinance and chaff in the coutnermeasure slot


When I try and fire the weapons, whether grouped or individually, only weapon slot one fires. It seems that if I group the weapons, it will fire off only weapon one, if I fire them individually itwill still only fire off weapon one (when I fire weapon 2, nothing happens).


I have plenty of power in the reactor, plenty of free mass, I can switch around weapon1 and weapon 2 (in manage your starship) and whatever is in weapon slot 1 fires (2 no dice). Missles work fine as do chaff...


If anyone knows what I am doing wrong or if there is a bug or something, please let me know...I am losing my mind here.


Thanks...

The second weapon is for the turret. The y-wing is a 2 person ship

If it helps, the Y-Wing Longprobe is a single person vessel and can fire both weapons at once.



According to the NGE, Chewbacca is Un-Star Warsy because he can both fire a bowcaster and fix droids.

Y-wing longprobe(tier 2) is the single person variant. The plain old Y-wing in tier 1 requires a gunner for the turret. This is accomplished by you forming a group with one other person, then you as group leader, launch your y-wing with him standing next to you. He'll pop in the gunner station while you pilot the ship.

In a standard Y-Wing the 2ndGun Slot is for the gunner only - it can only be fired by your gunner.


Get a friend, group with him and on take off he'll find himself sitting in the gunners position of your Y-Wing (pretty sure your friend has to have JtL as well which suxs a bit)


If you want to fly solo, removethe secondgun and use the excess energy / mass you have to add something (shield/Missile Launchger etc) a bit meatier


The Longprobe has both guns firable by the pilot & no gunner.
