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.

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.

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.
