Are you sure you actually had purchased some missiles?

Anyone else having any problems with this? - It all seems to work fine for me and cant see any particular reason why it wouldnt..

I suppose it might just be that the missile launch graphics arent particularly obvious unless you catch em at the right angle...? (I'll tidy this up some more shortly)

yep - I've had this problem before - seems to be a range thing rather than a not working thing - moving in closer has generally solved the issue for me.

not sure what the range is, but its not huge. targetting sensors pick up a ship way before its within firing range.

It could be that the person you're firing at is in small mode.

Yeah i have this problem quite often lately.

I got it really bad at the fight night, my target was right in front of me.
