Ok, guess I am a total noob. When i go into tactical combat my ships never fire their missiles while the AIs can. Am I missing a piece of technology or what? I have click on the missiles on my ship and nothing happens and I have double clicked on the enemy ships and nothing happens. All other weapons and bombs work fine. ANy help would be appreciated thanks

You have to make sure you've selected the right ship, of course. Your missiles are appearing in the weapon panel at the upper right? Then you have to make sure your pointer has selected the enemy ship. Mouse pointers can be deceptive. Try clicking a little bit "below" the ship to account for the offset of the mouse pointer.

Has the range/damage been modified on these missiles? If you've change them to do 0 damage at range 1 as some people do (minimum range) then I think they won't fire.

Have you modified the data files in any other way? You could have discovered a bug.
