I can't seem to be able to set PD modes

[martinuzz (OP)]

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

Missile to hit chances are vs targets moving at 3000 km/s, 5000 km/s and 10,000 km/sIf 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?

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

[martinuzz (OP)]

Heh, the summary view does show the correct settings. Guess it's all fine then, thanks

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

[martinuzz (OP)]

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

It works for all functions.
