Trouble launching buoy
« on: March 02, 2017, 07:01:34 PM »
Hey Guys

So I've had a bit of trouble launching my JP buoy.  I've done it before with a different design, but I'm trying out a survey carrier and so I've created a buoy launching platform.

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

I've been using the "Launch Missile At. . . " command, and various iterations of the "Move to. . . " etc commands, but once it get there, it doesn't launch the buoy.   Can anyone spot what I've done wrong?

Thanks!

I usually set a waypoint on the location I'd like to place my bouy, and then manually fire atthat waypoint.  Good luck.

The "Launch Missile At. . . " command fires all missile tubes that are linked to any missile fire-controls.

It doesn't appear that you have a missile fire-control on that fighter.
