I have tried selling my starting ship for a cheap vintage ship, i think it was an adder. I installed some upgrades with all my cash but it when i tried to install a military laser it didnt work, nor any other laser/beam upgrade. Can anyone help with this?

If it was a Vintage Adder (has a wire-frame paint job), then you can only fit a gun on the front. If it was a rusty one, then it should work.

Ah right fair enough, how do i remove the standard beam then so i can fit a military one in?

Selecting Military Laser on the F3 screen and then Forward should replace the beam, as long as you have enough credits to buy the military.

BTW the Adder only has one Energy Bank, so you may find a Military is a bit much for it, as it drains the energy levels so quickly!

Lasers drain energy?

Yeah, same as using the ECM. They don't drain much and it quickly recharges, but if you only have one bank you notice it! Every time you fire even a pulse laser with an adder, the warning siren goes off as you have less than one bank left.
