Can't select the Q Bomb?

Post by cactuar »

According to the documentation, all I need to do is press 'y' and the q bomb will be selected, yet it isn't. Only if I fire off all my missiles does it become selected. Am I missing something?

'y' cycles through things mounted on pylons (which includes Q bombs as well as all missile types).

When you press 'y' you should hear the gwock sound (sorry, don't know how to better describe it!) and the selected weapon should light up with a yellow border. Press 'y' until the sort of stretched hexagon (the symbol for a Q bomb) has a yellow border. Then press T to arm it, and M to launch it.

You will need to have purchased the 'Multi-Targeting System' upgrade to use 'y' to activate each pylon in turn. It's possible cactuar doesn't have this.

I'm working on improvements to how equipment is handled that might make this easier too.

Thanks guys, indeed I do not have the 'Multi-Targeting System'. Thought that I would only need that to target mutiple enemies. :roll:
