X-tension: weapon installation (solved)

Post by Jalnor » Wed, 1. Sep 21, 22:45

I get the feeling I'm missing something obvious. Playing my first round of X-tension and, somehow, while I was in the process of docking, the computer announced that one of my cannons had been removed.
I checked. Yep, moved to cargo bay. No idea how I did that and there's nothing in the manual that hints at it. Reinstalling it is proving impossible too; there appears to be no install function that I can find and, again, the manual is silent on this. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Thank you! I'd no idea it could be as simple as hotkey switching between cargo items. I'll have to go find a full hotkey map, see what else I'm missing...
