Ammo, how does it work

[15minutegamer (OP)]

Hi,

I am playing around with weapons and ships etc to see how they work, and below is what I have, I know it may not be ideal but just trying to see how it all works.

The issue is ammo, it says 0% I have Odrance Factory and Ordnance transfer station on earth,  however when I send them to earth to load up ordnance it says they can't do it, why? what do I need? Also they won't pick up MSP from the planet either?

Well you have not set missile loadout in Ordnance and Fighter tab (Class Design), try to do that, maybe that will solve it?

[15minutegamer (OP)]

That tab, has the attached image

It says class template loadout

with 71 missiles and available space 1.81

Ship template loadout
avail space 271.75

Currant load out
Avail space 271.75

Another question of course is if you have actually produced any missiles of the types assigned to the class on Earth?

If there are missiles of the types specified on the planet and you have a Space Station or Ordnance Transfer Station/hub there you should be able to reload the magazines.

Now that is a question, how do I make Missles? This could be where I am going wrong then as i've never set up that sort of thing

In industry tab select Ordnance from drop down menu (It is located above list of items that can be constructed). There you just select what missile you want to produce.

  ok its going to take 20 years to make 100, as I only have one factory to make them, well at least I know when I restart next time to build some quicker!

We have all done that in the beginning, don't worry xD. It's a common mistake, ordnance production is slow, so you need a decent number of ordnance factories. Depending on how many missiles you need, of course

Missiles are powerful, but they do require investment. That's why beam weapons absolutely have a place in a fleet (and many prefer them)

Also, if you built the ship first and then specified the class loadout, you'll want to click the "Copy from Class" button shown in your screenshot to set this particular ship.

Ships will use the class loadout without it being specified. You only need to specify the ship loadout if you want to override the parent class.

Little advice try to use rockets with multiple sizes, e.g. AMM size 3 / ASM size 9 /. thanks to this you will be able to shoot them from other launchers.
