So I had a friend come upon an issue with his hardpoints where his beam lasers when placed on the smaller hardpoints would not fire. They were fixed level 1 beams. We tried everything we could think of that might be the problem from changing fire groups, pip management, module priority and changing joystick button assignments. Nothing worked. Something we never considered ended up being the problem.
Cosmetic attachments (Via the Livery system) aren't supposed to affect how the ship flies, fires and clips, but after exhausting every other probable cause for his lasers not firing (They wouldn't even attempt to fire) We had him take off his raider spike cosmetics and low and behold he suddenly had use of his lasers again. Apparently there is a specific set of raider livery kits that somehow interferes with the operation of the smaller hardpoints on the Cobra mk3.
We had this issue and looked all over the forums but didn't find anyone with this specific issue so I figured for future reference someone may be able to fix their problem by stumbling across our solution.
