My Ships won't fire their missiles

[Suicide Junkie]

Give us a screenshot or something so we can see whats going on.
Preferably with both the ship in view and selected, and with its description window open (right click the ship)

Reasons why missile would fail to fire:
- Out of range.
Since you're within beam range, you're pretty much guaranteed to be in missile range.

- Can't target that type of unit.
Since you were firing at planets, thats not it.

- Broken Mod datafile.
If you're using a mod you downloaded, it would have been tested for this.

- Manual disarm
If you click on the missile pic, you will turn the background from blue to black, and the missile is now disarmed and will not fire. Click again to re-arm, or reselect your ship to arm all weapons.

- Reloading still
Most missiles take three turns to reload after firing, count the number of little red bars on the picture of your weapon to see how many "end turns" you have to do before you can fire again.

From what I've read, this could be your problem.
