Torpedo Help

Theres two things that after reading the read-me and the manual I still cant figure out.

1) How to use the torpedo. I just spent a hell of alot of money on the Sunslayer Torpedo Launcher that does like 2500/1500 damage, but it wont fire no matter what I do.

The second is more of a question than a problem. Why when I kill battleships and cruisers even when I do it all by myself do they not always register in my kill chart? Its like I killed 12 but only 4 show up, its really annoying.

I bought the torpedo I had 50 of them AND the launcher. It just plain wont fire. The missiles, mines, and CM all work and fire fine just the torpedos dont seem to work.

Make sure it is equipped. Then try pressing the number to the let of it

e.g.

1 Kraken Mk. II
2.Tizona del Cid
2.Tizona del Cid
3.CERBERUS
4.Nomad Cannon
5. Nomad Cannon
6. Sunslayer torpedo
7. Salamanca Turret
8. Ripper Mine
9. Adv. Countermeasure

In this weapons set up, you would press "6" to fire the torpedo. Good luck!

No that doesnt work. Like I said I tried everything...including that, and including installing the latest patch...and uninstalling the whole thing, re installing it and reinstalling the patch.

Try ctrl+q, but do make sure the launcher is equipped, and has ammo first. You should hear a clunk noise if it's empty or it should fire. If nothing happens then you have a problem. Are you running any mods by any chance?

As for the kill counters, I know that the battleship encounters mod sometimes messes up. The encounters have a class id in them, so if the author has all of the ships listed as a fighter then the counters increment only in the fighters. Again, are you running a mod or is this part of the SP campaign?

make sure you have the right ammo
there is the [ustarkiller[/u launcher (about 2400 damage, $373 each torp) and the [usunslayer[/u launcher (about 11000 damage? about $7k each torp)

you probably have the starkiller launcher and sunslayer torpedos
