Thread: Problem with missiles

Hi all,

Last time I've been using missiles when I was grinding pilot in November. Decided to put IR missile launcher on my Eta-2 and found that it's not even trying to lock on target as if I didn't have missile launcher installed at all. Checked power - ok, condition - 100%, missiles are loaded. Just nothing happens... Did something change since then or do I forget something?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure it's mapped to a key - open up the weapons screen with "G." Lots of times I unmap mine to get rid of the obnoxious locking system when I don't need 'em.

Are you a pilot and not using Droid Commands?

Good point, I will check when I get home.
What about locking not taking place? I understand it missiles (try to) lock no matter if I have a key mapping or not?

Also, (and I know this is so obvious it does not deserve to be mentioned, but sometimes the ovbious is overlooked) make sure you have loaded missiles in your launcher. I notice that when my launcher runs dry, it no longer tries to lock on.

I see you are an ace already, and I am not trying to insult your intelligence. Just covering all the bases. =)


NM - I reread your original post and see you stated you already have missiles loaded. Sorry. =(
