View Full Version : Fire All Torpedoes?

So I haven't had the opportunity to test this myself yet, and was wondering if anyone knows off hand.

I'm currently still running in my T2 escort with a single fore firing torpedo. But I have been doing some reading of how higher ranked officers are loading out their ships and I am trying to do some advance planning myself.

My question is, if I have torpedo launchers of different types pointing in the same direction (say quantum & tricobalt, although it really doesn't matter as long as they are different) and I use the Fire All Torpedoes command (default is Ctrl + Space), as there is a GCD for all torpedo launchers of 3ish seconds or something like that, which launcher fires?

Is it random, dependent on hardpoint placement, or is it going to end up requiring specific manual firing if I want to use different warhead types in a specific order?

Any thoughts?

When I was in open beta, near the end, I was experimenting with Photon and Quantum torps, and I noticed that whichever one was in the upper left-hand corner of the weapons loadout panel always fired first, and it cycled left to right, top to bottom, as one would read (in English, anyway).

This may have changed, however, since you could actually fire more than two torps simultaneously during OB when using High Yield Torpedoes in conjunction with multiple launchers.
