I was hunting pirates in the I Bootis system and was very eager to test my new weapon loadout (4 turreted pulse lasers). But when I interdicted the enemy and wanted to shoot nothing happened... and yes I've put them in the firegroup. What am I doing wrong?
Turrets will only fire at hostiles (red guys). If you have all turrets, and the enemy isn't red yet, you will have to set them to forward fire in the right menu, shoot someone, and then switch the turrets to one of the other modes.
That seems a bit "off" really; I'd ticket that if I was in that position. You want to target something and shoot it with your turreted weapons, why go through this palava of setting forward-fire first, red them up, then having to switch it back?
