[ExChairman (OP)]

These ship has been attacking invaders like hell, but they wont fire there missiles... Did I do something wrong in design?

First, this should probably have been posted into the Academy forum.

Now that this is out of the way, some questions just to make sure.

1) The scout ships do have their sensors active?
2) Your FACs are ordered to open fire?
3) You assigned the launchers to the firecons?
4) You assigned the missiles to the launchers?

Oh, forget 1), you wouldn´t be able to target them without active sensor coverage.

[ZimRathbone]

oh yes

[ExChairman (OP)]

But I got Missile Fire Control....

[ZimRathbone]

but have you assigned the launchers to a f/c?   Aurora does not assign by default.

[ExChairman (OP)]

Yes, all missile launchers to Fire control 1, assigned contact to Fire Control 1 & assigned missile Peasent to all launchers...

[Hawkeye]

Just to make this totally clear: The "Weapon and Fire Control Assignment Summary" window on the Battle Control Window (F8) looks something like this:

Clypeum Raketenleitsystem 8,6/1 #1 (2v1 PD Mode 2):   No Target Assignment-----------------------Firecon, in your case, showing Xanthe Terra 005 as target
Sagitta ARR-1 Raum-Raum Raketenwerfer #1 - Cludo IV Anti-Raketen Rakete (Ready To Fire)-----
Sagitta ARR-1 Raum-Raum Raketenwerfer #2 - Cludo IV Anti-Raketen Rakete (Ready To Fire)----- All missile launchers directly below,
Sagitta ARR-1 Raum-Raum Raketenwerfer #3 - Cludo IV Anti-Raketen Rakete (Ready To Fire)----- which shows they are assigned to that FC
Sagitta ARR-1 Raum-Raum Raketenwerfer #4 - Cludo IV Anti-Raketen Rakete (Ready To Fire)----- and the missiles assigned to those lauchers directely behind
Sagitta ARR-1 Raum-Raum Raketenwerfer #5 - Cludo IV Anti-Raketen Rakete (Ready To Fire)-----

How can you even stand invader fire for so long?

[sloanjh]

Did you notice the line

8th June 2034 02:32:26,GJ 1002,Size 24 Box Launcher (x2) reloading.  10800 seconds until next missile launch.

in your original post?  This looks like you've already fired a salvo, and the box launchers won't be reloaded for another 3 hours.  OTOH, the sizes look wrong.  Could this be related.

John

PS - On Hawkeye's observation that this (and your previous one about civilian mining stations, actually) belong in The Academy, moderators can move them there if you want.  Please post here or PM me if you want them moved....

The Size 24 missile is on a second type of  FAC, those fired as they should..

Thaught it might have something to to with the Tribal, so I detached it, still no missiles away  

About the Invaders, I thinks they are survey ships or they have very short ranged plasma torps... No fire at mee yet
And please transfer to Academy.

[sloanjh]

Moved to The Academy.

Hmmm - all I can think of is to post a screen-shot of the fire-control screen, in case someone notices something missing....
