Equipped both the gladius and moreya with x2 Mk.2 torpedo launchers, and 2x ion weapons. All fighters are given the command to attack turrets on a xenon station. They will attack only with their ion weapons and never fire their Mk.1 heavy torpedoes.

I confirmed the torpedo launchers are loaded with with Mk.1 heavy torpedoes, and assigned all weapons to the primary weapons group.

They're set to disable. How did you issue the order to attack?

Oh! You're exactly right. When I turned off "shoot to disable," torpedoes were fired as expected.

To attack, I selected all fighters in the fleet by clicking on the lead, then held shift and selected the last fighter. Then right clicked on the station and selected "Attack > Turrets" This results in "shoot to disable being selected automatically. I tried selecting the fleet commander only and gave the same command to attack the turrets. "shoot to disable" is not selected in that case.

I was experimenting today, and it seems like selecting Attack > Turrets, Shields, or surface elements automatically applies "shoot to disable," which prevents the use of torpedoes. I'm not sure if that's the desired behavior when attacking stations. This occurs regardless of the way I select ships/fleets to attack the station.
