How does a ship decide what weapon to use when you command it to attack?
For example, one of my ships has all three weapons types, but I have only ever seen it fire a 'flaming ball', kinda like Ryu.
Why does it only ever use the same weapon when it has mulitiple weapons at it's disposal?
Thanks
A ship fires all weapons ithas during each combat turn. Most likely, the animation of two of the three weapon types is very faint and overshadowed by the third. I know that some of the laser weapons produce a very faint beam, and some missiles and mass drivers can be hard to spot aswell. Most likely you will have to zoom in further to see it fire all weapons.
Actually, there seems to be some kind of a requirement to see a ship fire multiple weapons (not necessarily even when it has multiple weapons types) in the combat screen, beyond just having them. It probably relates somehow to total attack, but I've never really bothered trying to figure it out.
