Hi all, I can't remember how many years ago I last actually had a ship fire at something, and it seems that I've forgotten stuff.
I've just had a lone spoiler attack my commercial fleet based at Earth, where I had a Monitor ship and an STO based. At first nothing fired back (spoiler was in orbit so in range of everything) - but then I manually toggled enemy to hostile (who knew - it was killing ships!) and the STO engaged, but the Monitor not. What might I have forgotten to do in order to get the Monitor to fire? I attach the monitor specs, but I don't think I forgot any of the basics (weapon, FC, PP)
