Title: How do you load missiles into a ship?
Post by: Foolcow on March 20, 2012, 05:34:47 AM

I've built 1,000 size 4 missiles on Earth, and they show up in the stockpile.

I have one of the following ships in orbit at earth, and I'm giving its task group the order to "Load Ordnance from colony."  But nothing happens.  All 1,000 missiles still show up in the stockpile, and 0/144 magazine space used on the ship when I look under ordnance management.

What's going on here?  What should I do?

It looks like you haven't set the default ordinance loadout for the class, otherwise it would be displayed under the launchers in the class summary. You do that on the ordinance/fighters tab of the design screen.

You can also load ordinance directly in the individual unit screen(f6) ordinance management tab.
