I have no idea of how you managed 0 strength.
Once you have switched in the new part on the F5 Class window, you need to select each existing ship on the F6 Ship window to make sure the individual ships are updated, not just the class.

« on: August 04, 2013, 06:02:56 PM »I recently encountered hostile aliens, go me! I have 2 anti ship missile destroyers in the fleet I sent to blow the aliens up, but when I got into range and clicked on the open fire button I got the following message;
Then, when I checked my technology screen I saw I had 2 fire controls with the exact same name, one has a cost of 21, but detection strength and max range are both 0, while the other has a cost of 21, detection strength 21, and max range of 92.97 million Km, this one for some reason I had marked as obsolete.
My problem now is that I tried to make the first fire control, just to see how I had manged to create a completely useless component, but even using the lowest tech possible I can at least get some range to it. So, I was wondering if this was a bug, or if I'm just a massive idiot.
My second question is whether I can use SM mode to swap out the useless fire control for the proper one, or if I will have to disengage the enemy and refit my destroyers?
Thanks,
