Hello everyone!
Recently, I developed fighter tech for the first time and I got to use it as a light carrier carrying a couple of squadrons responded to the distress call of over 20 of my civ freighters being ambushed by a lone precursor in a system that I thought was secure.
Anyways, I arrive far too late to help the large civilian fleet, but my carrier and her escorts locate the enemy ship which is bearing down at a quick speed. I launch my fighters and have them target the ship and launch missiles, but one type of fighter seems to be having trouble with it's fire control. I've included the design below.
F-12C Wasp class Fighter 340 tons 7 Crew 57. 5 BP TCS 6. 8 TH 48 EM 0

Missile to hit chances are vs targets moving at 3000 km/s, 5000 km/s and 10,000 km/s
This design is classed as a Fighter for production, combat and maintenance purposes
Every time I try to assign the 4 tubes to the Fire control, 5 seconds later, they show up as unassigned and don't fire. Have I done something to the design of the fighter to cause this?
I have several other squadrons of the 12c and all of them seem to unassign the launchers from the FC after I hit the turn button.
I have a 2nd squadron of older fighters that are very similar, but seem to have no trouble assigning their fire controls to their launchers, the design is below.

Have I just missed something in the design process?(I wouldn't be surprised) Or is there a step I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for your help!
