When I use any attack command on missile equipped bombers half of them will only fire 1,2 or 4 missiles at a time instead of all 6 on the Pulsar. On 4-gun ships like Ares or Eclipse they will sometimes fire 1 or 2 at a time, and it's even worse with Barracuda and Buzzard which only fire 1 missile at a time even with 3 launchers.
To reproduce, make a fleet of Pulsars with 6 dumbfire launchers full of cluster missiles, and command them to attack any station or L/XL ship.

Moved from Tech Sp to gameplay as no information was provided. Other players may have some advice for use in these player-owned bomber situations.

Re: [BUG] Bombers not firing all missiles at once
I have seen the same thing generally. NPCs with multiple launchers never seem to make full use of them. It's not something I've reported yet only because I don't make extensive use of missiles in the first place, especially now with their bad habit of blowing themselves up.

Thanks, that works. I'll take this back to Tech Sp now.
