Isn't that just for assigning fire controls to targets, but not weapons to firecontrols, or PD mode?

There should be button assign firecontrols for all ships of the class or something similar in the combat window(?) I think. I use it to assign firecontrols and stuff myself

What does the summary view say, does it show the setting there or is it not mentioned there either?

So I designed a PDC with some meson turrets, and AMM launchers.

Code: [Select]
Goalkeeper class Planetary Defence Centre    30,000 tons     467 Crew     3890.5 BP      TCS 600  TH 0  EM 0
Armour 16-86     Sensors 1/0     Damage Control Rating 0     PPV 43.4
Intended Deployment Time: 3 months    Spare Berths 1    
Troop Capacity: 5 Battalions    Magazine 1258    

Fuel Capacity 260,000 Litres    Range N/A
Twin R6/C4 Meson Cannon Turret (3x2)    Range 60,000km     TS: 20000 km/s     Power 8-8     RM 6    ROF 5        1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
PDC Fire Control S08 96-16000 Mk1 (3)    Max Range: 192,000 km   TS: 16000 km/s     95 90 84 79 74 69 64 58 53 48
Stellarator Fusion Reactor 24 (1)     Total Power Output 24    Armour 0    Exp 5%

PDC Size 1 Missile Launcher Mk1 (8)    Missile Size 1    Rate of Fire 5
Missile Fire Control FC52-R1 (PDC AMM) Mk1 (8)     Range 52.8m km    Resolution 1

Missile to hit chances are vs targets moving at 3000 km/s, 5000 km/s and 10,000 km/s
If you are wondering, the active sensor is on a seperate PDC design, the fuel is just for RP purpose, and I dun goofed on adding ordnance properly in the design, so I had to add those manually later. Don't worry they have full magazines now.

I gave it 1 firecontrol per turret / launcher, and linked those in the ship>>combat settings window.

In that same window, I can set PD range in 10k units, and choose between area defense / final fire / final fire (self only), or in the case of AMM, the amount of anti-missiles per missile to fire. But if I select a firecontrol, set a PD range, and choose the appropriate PD mode, then click the 'set mode' button, it does not save either the range, nor the PD mode. Next time I select that firecontrol, the settings are reset back to default.

How do I set PD modes?

Additional question: Is there a faster way to link weapons to firecontrols than one ship at a time?
