Thread: ordnance not firing
I can't even get my spacebombs to target anything. I know I've used them before, so I don't know why it's not working now. Yes, the launcher is loaded. No, I can't even get the targetting graphics.
Is there some reason why a launcher would fail to work? I have plenty of reactor power too... I can't figure it out. Real joy to try and take on a corvette when you take one of your blasters out to load a launcher, then it doesn't do anything.
haha i had this 'problem' for ages it cost me 3 deaths against the vette ages ago.
Solution: Push G then assign the ordinance to a 'group'....enjoy

Mine won't lock on at all theres no sound or nothing. Its been a couple months I guess...
That's EXACTLY the same problem I'm having. Just... nothing. Like it's not even installed. I know they used to work, because I used them before and took it out because it was so annoying.
This is using Spacebomb Mark I. Haven't tried any other launchers lately, but I guess I'm going to have to hunt some up and see if they work.

Heh, that might fix the OP's problem, but that wouldn't fix mine. Kind of hard to fire a weapon that won't even target....
Um did you try what i said, thats what it does fix. If its not assigned to a group you wont even get the 'targeting animation' it acts like its not installed.

If that's the case, then it's been changed since JTL launch. I know I used missles in beta and they would target whether you had them grouped or not, they just wouldn't fire. I used to ungroup them so I wouldn't waste missles by accident back then, but I would still get the targetting animation and noise.

But, ya know... things can kinda change from beta to live, right?
Anyways, it sounds to me like you need to assign it to a weapon group.
Yeah, that worked... strange. I know I've used missles before though and not had to assign a group for them before they would target.
Oh well, learn something everyday I guess.
