Sitting in my brand new Actis, cruising along at 500. Pop my target selector and pick up a bogie at 3 high, 2km away. I push the throttle to the firewall and come screaming in on his high six. I'm thinking to myself, "This should be quick..." I'm in range and I drop the hammer on my lovely new 2900 max L7 main and 2700 max L6 secondary.

Uh oh....
In all seriousness,I seem to be having real problems with my Actis. NONE of my RE'd guns will work in either position. Weight is not a problem (I've still got 7k+ mass available). Reactor energy isn't an issue either as I'm only using 8 out of 13k. I've tried4 differentL6 guns in each position, both alone and in tandem. I've tried my L7 gun in each position, alone and in tandem with each of the L6 guns (I'm also on a first name basis with the Tatooine flight controller (his name is Trey, BTW)) all with the same result. I do not have any non-RE'd guns to experiment with and the only MSW guns I have available are too heavy.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, what was the solution?
Thanks,
Donu

My Actis, and only my Actis, randomly seems to jump to a weapon group 3 that doesn't exist. It likes to cycle to a new group every time I zone, no idea why. Try cycling to group 1?

I had something similar happen in my Tie Advanced before I defected to the Alliance. Squeezed in everything I could and then had a swap around with my Reactor, consequently I had insufficent power to juice up my guns...and when I squeezed the trigger I got Click Click.
I think I got the same when I forgot to install a capacitor in one of my fighters. Now I know no-one else would ever do anything so daft =)

Atta:I tried each weapon in turn as well as cycling through the weapons. I got the same result.
Tando: My capacitor is RE'd L6, 1200 energy and 46.7 recharge, so no problems there.

Running programs that might be sucking up juice?
Do the weapons work when you launch?
Can you run a /pumpreactor, /eshields, or /ethrust kind of thing in case EO4 is causing an issue and try again?
Reverse the weapons in their Slots and try again?
Pull everything out, redeed, generat, reload, launch, try again?
I'm just running through some standard space troubleshooting steps that can often narrow down the proglem.

I never was able to figure out what the exact problem was. I stripped and re-deeded the ship, then generated it and put everything back on. Now it all works. Thanks for all the suggestions and help.

Just a quick question for you...what do you have set...
Fire cycle to next weapon group...or fire Current weapon group...
If you have the second one..you might have accidentally switched to a different weapon group with no weapons in it.
That and sometimes loading and unloading missles or counter meseasures sometimes borks up the weapon groupings...hence the groupings reset..
