And also how do i lauch mines?
-
assign a launcher to a fire control then load the drone into a missile launcher then in movement orders select the planet you want to fire at and give the command "launch ready ordinance" this will launch all ordinance ready and loaded in a missile launcher.
-
No launch. The ships simply moved closer without firing, they should be inside my fc.

was it loaded and within FC and missile range?
-
Yes i tried your way, I tried adding a waypoint and went trough the missile and ship design. It should work.
-
Well crap, I don´t have the drones in my magazines, they are back at earth. Thank you for trying to help. :D
-
Well it`s still not working. Heres the database, no doubt it`s something obvious.

found the issue, you dont have a fire control that has long enough range.
-
You don't need a fire control with enough range if you are only shooting at waypoints.
Create a waypoint at the planet (If you are close the waypoint will lock to the planet). Now target the waypoint with a fire control and open fire. Remember to assign launchers to the fire control and missiles to the launchers.

I bow to the infinite wisdom of our god emperor, haha, welp theres your answer GL with those aliens.

If I may, from my understanding (and this way I might be corrected if I am missing something):
- Launch ready ordnance is used to deploy engineless payloads, such as buoys or mine platforms.
- You assign the launcher to the control and the payload to the launcher in the "Ship Combat" Tab. I don't think you need to open fire with the control, but I might be mistaken
- You select your target in the orders tab (the target can be anything and is not limited to waypoints)
- You hit the "Launch Ready Ordnance" order
- Your ship moves to the target and deploys the payload once
- Open Fire is used to launch self propelled elements that you want to deploy from afar (missiles or remote deployed buoys for example):
- You assign the launcher and target to the fire control and the payload to the launcher
- The target must be either a (hostile?) contact or a waypoint
- You hit Open Fire for the fire control
- If you are in range, the ship will automatically fire your payload, though I am unsure whether it does so at your fire control range, your payload range or the shortest of the two (I would expect the third option). From what Steve wrote previously, I assume that if you are firing at a waypoint it only takes the payload range into account.
- You don't need to issue any order (except a movement order if you are out of range), but don't forget to cease fire on your Fire Control or it will continue to shoot as soon as it is ready

So to get to the bottom of things, if you were targeting a WP, it should have worked. So what was the flaw here?

Are the waypoints showing up in the list of potential targets?
