MEKLAB question
« on: 20 March 2023, 00:43:48 »
I'm trying to design an Aerodyne Dropship the Borealis Class from Steel Warrior Studios. 
How do you allocate where the Weapons etc go to in regards to the location? 
I do not seem to be able to assign any locations for any of the weapon systems.
Well, now I seem to have a selection box on the right side with all of the weapons listed and it I keep getting errors when I try to validate the design.  I keep getting errors saying that there are unassigned weapon bays or weapons but I know I've assigned everything.

In the Criticals tab, you need to put them in weapon bays in each location.

Okay, thanks.  I figured it out.  I had to close the one I was doing and re-start it.  Apparently it doesn't clear anything out in the Critical location section when you clear out the equipment section of all weapons.

Are weapon Turrets not available for dropships?

I think turrets are heavily abstracted, where they exist but are never mentioned in the rules.  Maybe it fits into grouping the weapons into "Bays", but that might be a capital ship-specific thing - can't exactly remember.
