Why won't you shoot?

My latest problem, I have an Arcadia station (Friendly) and two beam platforms either side of it (Also Friendly). After a few seconds a baddie Corvette comes in, a few seconds after that another Corvette then a destroyer (Hades) before finally a Juggernaut. I have used the beam-free-all even on all of the ships, but the only two beam platforms fire!

Why do the other two not fire. I did it originally with two beam-free-all events with just one corvette and one gun platform, they bother fired they're beams but, the Corvette kicked ass, so I added some more detail to the mission, and now only the two friendly beam platforms fire. Needless to say they will quite easily.

Do I have to link them all together (chain them) Or do I have to set the turrets active as well or something?

This is strange, it worked to start with; there is no reason why it shouldn't work now.
I have changed none of the detail, and its not as if it'll only let the first two event lines work as the second beam platform is near the bottom of a long list of beam-fire-all events.......

......please help.
Thanks

you have to set it so that when say orion has arrived - beam free all orion - all even not specified as such will activate at the beinging of the mission of if the ships not there its beams wont be activated - argh doesn't make much sence but i'm sure you'll figure it out from that

I forgot about that, yeah... It has to be set when they arrive... pfffft stupid coding

and me, I put a arcadia in neutral mode, but it fires at me... why?

It's the teams, hostile attacks friendly, Hostile attacks neutral, friendly attacks hostile, neutral attacks friendly and hostile, and unknown will not attack or be attacked by anything unless directed to.
