Newcomer / Intro Why the srv vehicle won't shoot?

[Asceso]

I have just previously decked out my Type 9 Heavy ship for an engineering build. The first planet I come to, I land, deploy the SRV and dismiss the ship. I have full ammo on the SRV. I have set the weapon groups to where I want them. However, when I go to use the turret or fire it will not let me. full pips into weapons as well. What am I missing? What do I do?
Any suggestions or direction would very much helpful...

Wrong mode?
Need to be in combat mode, not analysis.

 

[Asceso]

tried both

 

[Gwyther]

Maybe this?

Horizons - Turret Mode on SRV

Oh I see. I'm not sure then. I'm on PS4 so my binding is the square. Have you tried turning it off and on again, ie logging out and back in? Edit... Oh wait, have you got the turret turned on and powered up in the modules panel? Apart from that, I have no idea.

even in combat mode it won't shoot without turret mode activated it still won't shoot.

Check bindings. Redo Bindings.

It won't even deploy the turret if too close to the ship.

As the scarab (driving) specific keybinds have already been ruled out, as were switched off modules or fire groups, I would suspect that maybe you're aiming too low? The gun will stop shooting when you're about to hit your scarab.

check your right hand panel and make sure that your weapons are alloted to a trigger,mine have mysteriously disappeared before now...usually theres an empty whisky bottle and discarded food wrappings. i've put these in the foyer in Odyssey now though.

Oh and what Donaldi said too. Backto whisky.

BTW, do you have energy in the weapons capacitor? If not, arrow down to redistribute the energy evenly between shields, engines and weapons...

EDIT: sorry, missed that in your OP... Full pips to weapons... Apologies...

The last time we got that complaint (only a few days ago), it was the trigger bindings. Keep in mind that the SRV uses (can use) different bindings form the main ship for everything - and that includes the triggers.

 

[Asceso]

Yes. It was a trigger bind. I feel silly and I feel like noob. Overlooked in the control panel for keybinds

And, to add, you'll have another one to add in Odyssey. There's a whole lot of "on foot" binding fun to be had. At this rate, my binds file is going to need an SSD all of its own...

Also guns won't fire within 50 mtrs of ship.

When this has happened to me it has been because the mode switch binding was not "K", as the message kept saying it was. So I could never switch to combat mode.
