Ship Combat

Ship Combat

Ship Combat takes place via the Combat Assignment screen or the F6 individual unit combat tab.

Setup Fire Control

Here you select the fire control you wish to use against an enemy, each fire control can be differently ranged depending on what specialization the weapons it is supposed to have are.

Assign Weapons to Selected Fire Control

Here you choose the weapons on a ship to assign to the fire control. On a large ship made for killing other ships this may be 10 or more.

There is no limit to how many weapons you can link to a fire control, but for point defense usually you want to keep a bunch of different fire controls for targetting seperately.
