This is probably an easy solution, but here goes - Every time I create a campaign, I select several weapons and ships to be initially available on the Campaign Editor. Yet when I start the campaign, I start the first level with no weapons. Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks!

[SypheDMar]

Did you try creating a new pilot?

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Did you allow the weapons in the mission?  You have to do both. 

[LoneKnight]

Hmm, I created a new character and the weapons were then present. Strange why that wouldn't work earlier with an already existing profile.

Another strange issue encountered when playing only on the campaign version of the level, after firing my lasers for some time, the lasers would occasionally be unable to fire. The sound would play that indicates that I am out of energy (for laser-based weapons) and the energy gauge would flash, despite the fact that the energy gauge was still at full. Any idea why that occurs?

[SypheDMar]

I think you might've reached the object limit.

[LoneKnight]

Definitely not. There's two wings of allied fighters and three wings of enemy fighters present.

[SypheDMar]

Hm. Post your fs2_open.log, then.

Fix those warnings for starters. 

[LoneKnight]

Okay, well those warnings were pertaining to a ship mod that I downloaded. They are since removed. The weapons drain seems to occur after you order your teammates to destroy a gas miner. Once that occurs, hostiles appear and you can barely fire. Any thoughts?
