So yesterday I bought a nice Ion Cannon for my Y-Wing and installed it in the second weapon slot, but no matter how I try to configure the controls it will not fire!

The standard y-wing is a 2 seater. The top gun is controlled by the gunner. If you want to be able to fire both from the pilot's chair you have to have the longprobe version.

This question will come up a lot. Just like it did on the beat boards.
The Y-wing is a 2 seater. You can't fire the turret weapon without a gunner.

Well it doesn't matter now. The Ion Cannon is GONE. It still shows up on the ship, but the manage screen just shows "Light" loaded into both slots. I have a light blaster installed in the first slot and the Ion in the second, now the Ion doesn't show up.
Nice to know I wasted 20k last night.

If I remeber correctly that's a bug in player crafted weapons. After it's installed only the first word in it's name sticks the rest is deleted. It's still an ion look at it's stats.

Also, how is one supposed to advance at all when a Light Blaster on a Y-Wing isn't even powerful enough to knock out the shields on a ship in combat?

You train the equipment tree first every time you hit a new tier (except for the 4th tier as no one can make level 8 componets - they are all loot). That way you have a better weapon (mid-grade vs light) THEN you get your new chassis.

DUH
The problem is, on Corbantis no one has level 2 or 3 blasters and those who do try to sell them for 1 to 3 million credits.

Seriously? Wow! Lvl 1 stuff takes like 100 resources total. I have some on my vendor for 5k. I was expecting to charge like 10-15k for lvl 3 stuff.

Was it a light ion cannon? There is a bug where things get renamed after being equipped. So if you have a light blaster and light ion cannon it will show up as light/light when equipped/unequipped. Try unequipping and examining each component.
