I'm relative noob when it comes to space as I focused on getting my jedi. But now I'm trying to do space missions and advance in ranks. I'm currently 2121, as a friend helped me grind out my second tier by taking me to do his tier 4 stuff. But that's neither here nor there, I equipped my Tie fighter with the neccassary equipment minus shields do to mass overload. well after getting shot down for the uptenth time I decided to purchase another tie. but when I put my guns on the new ship they wouldn't work. I went to put the guns back on my original tie and the same thing nothing. Can someone tell me has this happen to you or what can I do to fix this. On the manage screen my gun stats are fine, and when I enter the space station area I am not prompted to fix any thing.
Any help would be appreciated.

You're not flying with shields? You're crazy, and that's why you're getting shot down
Anyway, the gun issue... what're the exact symptoms you're getting? When you pull the fire trigger, what happens?
Couple things to look out for:
- energy: do you have enough for all your equipment? Is your energy level in the red before you even launch?
- keymap: I know it's kinda silly, but check which key/button you have bound to "fire and cycle group"
- When you launch into space, hit V and check the hitpoints/armour on your guns and capacitor. Are they damaged?
Also, is it just these particular weapons? Have you tested with another gun?

Did you remember to put a capacitor onboard? what exactly happens when you try to fire?

Well thanks to both of you for posting responses. I have a compacitor, I believe I have enough energy, and when I hit the fire button it just makes a clicking sound. I noticed the meter/icon that illustrates weapon recharge isn't filled but when I hit 'v' it says everything is at 100%. If this because of low energy how would I fix that.

If this is your protype capacitor, and its the same one you've had since the start, then chances are its pretty beat up. How many hit point does it have, for armor and hp?
