how do i get the caps like the GTVA collosses and the sathanas to beam each other, they wont kill each others, i would have to use cheats to do this on my own for fun..it wont get me know where

[Koth]

You mean shot each other with beams?
You have to Beam-Free-All them in Fred either by setting up events or use the Beam-Free-All Flag in Mission specs.

thanks

[EliteT3]

they wont beem each other 

[Unknown Target]

Did you give them orders to attack each other?


And my god I haven't seen a question like this in ages

[EliteT3]

yes, all the beams and orders, and no firing!!!

[EliteT3]

how can i get the beams!!

[Wanderer]

If you are playing unmodded FS.. post the mission here

[BlueFlames]

Are they in range?  Most warships' beams only target out to a range of four kilometers, even though they'll vaporize a fighter from any distance.

Sometimes deleting the mission, close FRED, and open a new mission save and work on that one helps.

That's why I try to test the caps first. Nothing sucks more than working 10 hours on a mission and your caps won't attack.... That's just my observation, but it's happened to me like 5-6 times in 4 years so it should be rare.

[EliteT3]

this is an unmodded

[Game_Master64]

Go to my FAQ's FRED section and have a look at ZylonBane's beam FAQ. It should walk you through all the reasons a beam won't fire.
