You need to assign an ordinance in the class design in order to issue a load command.
Otherwise you need to go to the miscellaneous tab of the ship window and manually add ordinance from a population or ship.

Are your FACs assigned to that base as "Mothership"? Have you gone into the "Ships" window, selected the base,  then "Recovered" them to the base, selected the FAC itself, then "Ordinance Management" and hit the "Reload from Mothership" button?

I assume that the base carries the proper ordinance in its magazine, and that you've designated that ordinance as "Preferred Magazine Load-out" on the FAC's "Class Design" screen?

Yea, the base have ammo, but forgot to include it on the fac profile... thanks guys...

You can assign your fac group to the pdc's by selecting the fac group, hit the taskgroups checkbox, select your hangar pdc group, give the land on assigned mothership mothership (if you have assigned them to it) or land on specified mothership and select the hangar.

Once landed you can reload by selecting the hangar taskgroup and using the reload para(site) button to reload form the hangars magazines.

I thought those few extra armor layers must be adding a lot to the cost of the base, but i went and checked a similar configuration and the price is actually quite reasonable considering the # of columns involved. . .  Hm.

Remember that the 1st 4 levels of PDC armour are actually free so in the example above you only pay for 7 rows rather than 11
