How to use Weapon Mounts? |
I'm a SEIV vertern but just got SE V now. I researched the first Weapon Mount tech, which opened up the "Ship Weapon Mount" tech. I researched that one up to tech level 2.
The problem is that I still can't seem to use them. When I have a ship design in front of me, nothing appears in the "Component Mounts" box. I've tried clicking on an empty box (nothing), clicking on a weapon (nothing), placing a weapon and then clicking on it (nothing). Obviously I'm missing something.
When it didn't work with frigates, I didn't worry, but its not working with destroyers either, which I just unlocked. (or is it that only certain types of weapons will go into mounts? All I have right now are uranium cannons and missiles....)
What am I doing wrong/missing?
Thanks for your help!
Re: How to use Weapon Mounts?
level 7 frigate is also large enough
There are multiple levels of wep mounts, with each one having a minimum tonnage requirement.

If your question is how to use them......
Just highlight the weapon mount and you will see the tonnage for the items that take a mount increase.

just a tip for weapon mounts, i find if you upgrade the ship weapon mounts so you have max leval in the smallest one, get lvl10 frigates and fit them with 2 or 3 weapon mounts of watever turret you research and you have a very effective frigate quite early on
Re: How to use Weapon Mounts?
The smallest weapon mount requires a ship size of 400kt. You need a lvl 4 or 5 destroyer to get that size.
