Which guns use which ammo?

My ship has rasor guns and disruptor beams, they've run out of ammo. What ammunition should I be buying for them, or should they be replaced?

thos guns don't use ammo--maybe you loaded them into a missile-only slot or something?

From serialized-xml save of my ship:-

Code: Select all

	<Mount size="LIGHT MEDIUM " weapon="Rasor" ammo="0" x="0.800000" y="0.300300" z="15.600299" qi="0.000000" qj="-1.000000" qk="0.000000" ri="0.000000" rj="0.000000" rk="1.000000"/>
	<Mount size="LIGHT MEDIUM " weapon="Rasor" ammo="92" x="-0.800000" y="0.300300" z="15.600299" qi="0.000000" qj="-1.000000" qk="0.000000" ri="0.000000" rj="0.000000" rk="1.000000"/>
	<Mount size="MEDIUM HEAVY SPECIAL " weapon="DisruptorBeam" ammo="239" volume="1000" x="11.600000" y="-2.500000" z="5.000000" qi="0.000000" qj="-1.000000" qk="0.000000" ri="0.000000" rj="0.000000" rk="1.000000"/>
	<Mount size="MEDIUM HEAVY SPECIAL " weapon="DisruptorBeam" ammo="230" volume="1000" x="-11.600000" y="-2.500000" z="5.000000" qi="0.000000" qj="-1.000000" qk="0.000000" ri="0.000000" rj="0.000000" rk="1.000000"/>

And before and after pics of firing the guns (note the ammo levels in the left VDU)

you can fix it by just deleting the ammo="###" thingy in whatever file u got that from, but I dunno how that got there in the first place

The file's the serialized-xml which is part of the save-game files.

The ship is a dryad.blank, purchaseed and outfitted normally within the game. So the ammo="###" part of the file has occurred as a bug within the gameplay.

Ta. (Duly reporting as a bug).
