Title: Weird Weapon Load-out in the King's Gambit
Post by: SypheDMar on January 11, 2009, 05:34:04 pm

The ship load-out seems correct, but the weapon load-out only offers tempest, hornets, and rockeyes as secondaries.
Problem seems to have been known from the Wiki, but my build is newer than what has been stated.
Using 1/6/09 Nightly Build.

EDIT: There are no cyclops in the next mission, either.

Most likely a corrupted pilot file.  You can create a new one and start over or try Kara's FAQ for a campaign file that will start you off close to that mission.

Exact problem happened to me at the beginning of last year when I was a real sped at.... this

Definitely a corrupted Pilot File, remember to use a different pilot for each mod

Not only for each mod but for any updates of the same mod.  Ran into that problem in TBP.  Updated campaign with the same fc2 file but new missions toasted my pilot.

I didn't realize this was in the sticky. My bad. The thread title made me assume that it was hardware/software-related rather than gameplay-related, though. Anyway, I'll read that from now on. Thanks.
