Message text | As far as I can tell, when you get the "unable to fire" message, this means that the HDT was too low, and the initial broadside is saved until the ship actually does fire. I had the same question a day or two ago, but as soon as my ships were in closer range, they fired their initial broadsides without problem. Wait another few turns until you actually do fire, and then see what happens. If the ship never fires its initial broadside, then there might be a bug, but from what I can tell, the "initial broadside" bonus shows up as a calculation, but isn't used unless you ship actually fires. (If you fired with a "no damage" result, on the other hand, the initial broadside is wasted.) |
