Federal Dropship 4 rails 1 Plasma

I'm having an issue that I've raised a ticket for. I'm trying to run a FDS with 4 rails and 1 plasma but only 3 of my rails will fire. All my core modules are engineered and I have plenty of power. The farthest outside starboard hardpoint is the culprit. Even if I turn everything off but this hardpoint it will not fire. It will do the spool up sound effect but no bang. (I just want to bang!:))

I've tried selling all hard points logging off then rebuying. I've tried switching them around. I've tried self destruct. I've tried verifying game files reinstalling drivers. I'm about to test on Horizons and see if its just an Oddyssey problem.

Could someone please test this and post back here.

This seems to be yet another Oddyssey bug. When tested in Horizons there was a text stating thermal overload and the rail would not fire. I deployed a heatsink and it corrected this issue. The text went away and the weapon fired. Hopped over to Oddyssey and the problem persisted. The heatsink workaround did not solve the issue.

Please could someone try to reproduce this bug.

It sounds like you don’t have enough WEP power distributor capacity to fire all of them simultaneously. What power distributor are you using and what engineering do you have on it?

I have a legacy all PA FdL that does this, its 99% not enough WEP capacitor to fire the lot in one go.

I really wish this was the case. I've tried with size 6 grade A weapons focused distributor that has more than enough capacity. Unfortunately this weapon will not even fire if set to its own fire group.

Have you tried stagger firing the rails 2 - 2?

Yes.

Check your Power Plant, if your Power Plant is smaller grade then you Power Distributor it may cause problem even if it shows you have enough power.
All 4 of your rails are the same (engineering wise) ? maybe one of your rails have a different charge time and trigger on your controller gets released after first 3 fires.

What are your power management settings? Have you tried cargo hatch and FSD to 5, weapons to 1, all the others to 2 or 3 just to try it?

It is an issue with gimbling. It will fire if gimbled away from the center line of the ship. Received a bounty in testing. Strange that its only the starboard side railgun.

Are there any other ships plagued by this issue?
