Weapon no working

Again a lack of answer from my part, I do not own the upgrade package, since not interested in it.
Came here for Space experience (the lack thereof since 1.5/2.0).

Question Is weapons deployment only possible at sub orbital speed ie. not supercruise? Because it seems I can only use my weapons then.

Yep - no weapons in supercruise. Since they have a range of about 2 kilometers, you'd have a really difficult time hitting anything at supercruise speeds anyway.

So how come I have been shot in it then?
And what excactly are the speed levels anyway and which can I use weapons in?

I guarantee you, nobody has ever shot your ship while you were travelling in supercruise mode. The only hostile action that can be taken in supercruise is to attempt to interdict another ship, forcing it to drop out of supercruise.

There are three modes of travel:


  • Normal spaceflight, where you're generally travelling at no more than hundreds of kilometers per hour. This is what you use when you're entering or leaving a space station, or when you've dropped out of supercruise into a specific area such as a Nav Beacon, Signal Source or Resource Extraction Site, or when you just exit supercruise at a random point in space.
  • Supercruise mode, used to travel between planets within a star system. Travel takes place at multiples of the speed of light, and whilst you can see and identify other ships travelling in supercruise mode, you can't interact with them except by using a Frameshift Drive Interdictor.
  • Hyperspace, used to jump between systems. You can't see or affect anything in this mode, and are locked into a single pre-selected jump route.

Weapons can only be used in normal spaceflight mode.
