OK. This may be a silly question, but here goes. How do you get your missles to fire, without being linked to your guns?

In the weapons menue, you have to click an item so it turns green to enable it. OK. But I don't want a missle firing off every time I fire my guns and when I click on the missle launcher so that it's NOT green, it won't fire at all, even when I use the "Hot Key" for firing that particular weapon. Same thing happens with countermeasures.

I can't believe they would have made it so that you have to click the missle/countermeasure to activate it, then fire it, then click on it again to deactivate it, before being able to return to firing your guns! That would make no sense!

Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.

hit 'q'. And 'e' is for mines. EDIT: 'c' is for countermeasures (I just call 'em flares or chaff, like what modern planes use)

I haven't even bothered using any missiles. I would rather have more guns.

Let's get those missiles ready to destroy the universe!!

Hehe, I like your signature, Ugnaught, it is quite funny since you said you don't bother using missiles.

I happen to like using missiles, especially when an enemy is coming directly at me, I launch 2 or 3 to severely decimate his defenses and finish him off with guns. Or if there are a lot of enemies and there is a nearly destroyed enemy limping around, i'll fire a missile to quickly finish him off.

LOL Ug...look at your signature.... missles and all....

Missiles are the ultimate way to unleash the most destruction in the least amount of time. The price is...well, the price of them It is kinda disappointing though how slow missiles are. they should have made them much faster, at higher speeds they won't be able to turn very well, so will be easyer to dodge. But atleast they would be more useful.
