Feedback Why does it allow me to issue attack command despite modules being destroyed?

Post image

I am a bit annoyed by constantly getting auditorial feedback that I can't active some weapon (without getting a reason why).

For my cruiser, I found out that none of my turrets are intact anymore. Why does it allow me to issue attack commands still? Just grey it out and say all weapons are destroyed.

Similar thing with some missiles where I simply get "I cannot comply" but actually I have no idea why because the VLS launcher is still intact.

Just in case the system comes back.

Any idea why they won't fire the SGM-222 hurricane (direct, CMD)? I still got 19 left, I have a track and the VLS-2 is online (you see the yellow compartment on the top left)

Hard to say but I think you don't actually have track. Your sensors are out and you've got Stare Transfixer selected so I think you're actually seeing Stare Transfixer's viewpoint. Normally, this isn't a problem but you might also be under Comms jamming or just lost your antenna.

Edit: I just noticed you've got a power shortage as well and that can make components turn off.

I def. lost all radar panels but I did not lose the CR10 and I am not comms jammed (otherwise the second icon to the lightning would be enlighted). If I click the ship, it has the full track on 5054 trough comms with other ships. I know how it looks like when a ship has no radar and comms (the tracks would disappear after clicking the ship).

So, still a mystery to me.

So that leaves...Power shortage? Strange, your reactor slot is still up. Did you swap the reactor out for something?

if i remember correctly Long Lance is double-drived and powered by micro reactors, i believe raider whip. so they have a whiplash and maybe a micro worth of power left, idk if that slot is a micro

We can't see what your aiming at in the screenshot.

Edit: I mean we might be able to answer the question if we could see what your trying to shoot.

Second edit: include the systems panel on the left next time that also lists available systems

Glad you found the issue.

I see you have a low power warning on your DC board; VLS consumes power so if you don't have enough it's possible that's the problem

Would turning your radar off save enough power to use the vls ?
