Fire On/Self Destruct?

I think you have to scrap ships, fire on is a unit thing, and self distruct should require a self-destruction device

There are 10 types of people in the world:

Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

Dunno. I'd just take a shipyard to the ship, unless you haven't gotten level 10 in that tech (a stupid restriction I'd probably remove if I had the choice... oh, wait, I do! )

Logic dictates that fire on would be available if there are ships in sector that have functioning weapons with the supplies and ordinance required to use them.

I don't know how the rules in SE5 work because I haven't tried using fire on yet, but I do know that SE4 was pretty lax about the rules. For example, I believe that you could have two ships fire on each other and both be destroyed (possible, but unlikely to actually happen.) I also think you could use fire on even if the ships with weapons were out of supplies.

All you can do is experiment to see what works. I do know that ships can't self-destruct without a working self-destruct component, and can only be scrapped for resources at a shipyard, like the others said.

"Fire on" appears to be broken at the moment.

They'll fix it, just gotta wait for a big patch.
