Are you doing this on the F6 Ship Window or the F8 Combat Window? If the latter, check the Weapon and Fire Control Assignment Summary text box and see what that has for the fire control in question.Ah! I didn't know about the F8 window. Much nicer for Combat than F6. Thanks, and yeah it set it. Strange on how it shows none instead of what it is on the drop down, oh well. :V Thank you for your help.

When I select my first FC and tell it to do Final Defensive Fire and hit set mode, then do it to the others, I go back to check that it set it and it doesn't stay. It stays on "None". What did I do wrong? Is it set and just being strange by not saying it?Actually, that's fine. It automatically highlights none when you go on that screen, but as long as you set it right it should still do final defensive fire.

Also, should I drop lasers entirely and stick to missilesAntimissiles are great, and are basically better in every way at missile defense. But, well... they run out, and beams don't. It's terrible to lose a fight because your antimissile magazines ran dry before incoming salvos stopped. Also, there are nontrivial industrial & logistical concerns in keeping a fleet stocked with missile ammunition if you do any fighting at all.
