blind fire

i got the ship-switching to work, but i switched the patriot into grendel
( grendel - - -> patriot ) and i got patriot's guns and hardpoints, and the problem is, when i fire individually, it won't blindfire. am i doing something wrong or is the switching not complete in any way ? pls help!!

presently, my world is upside down, so if u do not mind, u'll have to tok to my a$$

Hi, if you use the Patriot on full guns, blind fire won't work, its irritating but you have to use it's lasers individualy.

Only certain weapons can also be used in blind fire mode - i believe its the proton cannons and neutron blasters but i can't really remember the names or the weapons which can! lol

Sorry, I meant Proton cannons, not lasers - thanks for correcing me. i don't know why I wrote lasers lol, I know I was thinking Proton cannons as I wrote it.

now that u mention it, i can only remember blind fire actually working on predators, coyotes and shrouds - are you sure u should be able to do it normally?

AFAIK, the blindfire "ability" is kinda hardcoded in the exe.
you must think of the ships as slots. the predator slot will always have blindfire, and a slot without BF will never have BF, even if you put the Predator in there..

Honestly, if you press 'G' to select the Predator's proton cannons seperatly, it's blind fore will activate.
