Title: Interceptor missiles problem
Post by: Wired on January 18, 2007, 04:14:06 pm: Ok here's the deal,

After you've been introduced to the interceptor missile (in Advanced training #2, I believe) I am unable to select them in the weapons loadout screen in the next mission, "The Darkness and the Light". Also, when I go to the tech room the only thing listed is Interceptor#Weak.

I've read around and I've seen a similar problem being mentioned, where both Interceptor and Interceptor#Weak has been visible. But not just #Weak.

I've already restarted the campaign once and I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this.

Never played any Freespace game before so I had no idea.

I always thought that the Interceptor in Adv. Training 2 was a simulation of the real Interceptor. You know, "It's on it's way, we're preparing you for it in advance."

the instructor wants you to kill the drone with interceptors
but my ship is not even equipped with any secondary weapon

and about that story bug ... hm does anybody actually care WHEN WEAPONS ARE DEVELOPED ?
why not give them already in the trainings mission? otherwise so many newbies will get confused
like wired and me ... if you wanna underline it with story the answer of cobra is quite good i think
