Hi, this is my first post on the forum and i'm sorry because this is something really stupid but after years of having this game on steam and finally getting a pc back to play it. I'm having some issues.

The game runs ok but I cant seem to work out how to use the missile launcher. I have it equipped to my ship with two different kinds of missile (swarm and hellfire) but I cant seem to get them to work. The secondary weapon slot in the controls is for my right mouse button but everytime I click it when looking at a target it just makes a mechanical noise but no missiles are fired. There is no instruction in the controls to tell me how to change missiles either.

I think I might have a faulty game or i'm doing something really dumb. Can someone help me please.

Moved to Dark Star One forum.

To fire the missiles you need to have the launcher equipped (I guess you figured that out already), have it loaded with missiles (which you did) and you need to push the middle mouse button.
The right mouse button "triggers" the plasma cannon / shield, while the left mouse button fires the guns.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but you might be able to re-map the keys in the options screen.
