Can''t assign missiles to weapon groups?

Thu May 27, 2004 3:24 pm by zulu9812

I'm currently playing TNG 1.88 and I'd like to arm my Hawk heavy fighter with 2 Sweeper (anti-shield) missiles and 2 moonstalker (anti-hull) missiles. The plan is to hit the enemy with 2 sweeper missiles to take down their shields and then hit them quickly with 2 moonstalkers to destroy them. However, than means changing between these 2 weapon types quickly (i.e. at the touch of a button). However, I can't seem to assign missiles to weapon groups - only guns. This is a real pain in the ass. Can anyone confirm this, or even better, think of a workaround? I suppose I could just have 1 sweeper and 1 moonstalker and use 'Fire Weapon 1' and 'Fire Weapon 2', but that isn't nearly as effective.

When i had a similar setup(probably same missles just on a legionnaire) I made it so when I fired the default fire button only the shield killers would fire and due to the delay rate by pressing the missle fire button only 2 hull killers would launch because the shield killers were still reloading. It was effective and all i did was click on the shield killers in the weapons loadout to turn them to green. Sure sometimes I fired off 2 SKs with my HKs but the way i see it, if they survive the HKs somehow the SKs would've made a nice dent in their power reserves(assuming they work the same way as SK guns)
