Horizons 2nd Deliberate Kill

[D.D.Hariman]

Well.
Didn't get video.. AARRgghhhhh!!!
After my 1st kill I changed my fire group assignments because by watching the video of #1 I figured out that when I switched fire groups after the KWS scan that none of the MCT's fired until the punk had hit me again.
Put the small MCT's in Secondary with the KWC.
New fire group with small MCT's still in secondary and the medium MCT's on primary
Got a lot of warning from the punk this time so I was able to see that he would be easy game.
Submitted to the interdiction, set Battle Stations Space, locked him and started tracking.
The small MCT's started banging away and I tried to scan and it refused to work!
Switched FG to one that has the KWS, my ADS and that so far useless Data Scanner in it and got him back in range and the KWS still wouldn't scan!!
Ended up killing him with getting a scan.
So, since I was in an uninhabited system,, no bounty.
Reviewed the 1st Kill video and realized that the KWS ONLY worked when it was the ONLY thing on a fire button..
Now have the KWS on secondary and the 4 small MCT's in primary.
A new FG with the 4 small MCT's still on primary so when I switch fire groups they should keep shooting and the medium MCT's on secondary and they will start as soon as I get hit again.
A third different FG with only the ADS and the useless Data Scanner on secondary.

It will work even if there are other things linked to the same firegroup but you have to remember to keep the button pressed and the nose/distance on target until the scan is finished.

This is NOT an issue of "fire group", it is an issue of "fire button".
I have a macro to hold the secondary fire button down and the 4 small MCT's were firing in AUTO so the KWS was in range and I was on target.
Saying "scan" did nothing and holding the secondary fire button did nothing.

In my 1st Kill video I had the KWS and the ADS and the useless Data Scanner on the secondary fire button in a fire group and the KWS did not work. It wasn't until I switched to a fire group where the KWS was alone on the secondary fire button did the key word "SCAN" cause it to scan.

Well, then it's some macros issue or voice attack or whatever. Good luck with that.

Actually, I think it could be associated with the MCT's is in AUTO MODE effectively disabling the secondary fire button, but that doesn't explain what happened in my 1st kill, when the KWS didn't scan but the ADS did when when I said SCAN and the ADS, the KWS and the Data Scanner were all on the secondary fire button.

But the KWS did scan on command when it was alone on the secondary fire button. This makes me think the KWS must be the only thing on which ever fire button you put it on.
