How do you dump all your laser energy into shields?
The controls say to press the quotes button... so " this I'm guessing. Which would be shift + '

Except when I press this, the laser energy isn't dumped into the shields. I feel like I'm pressing the right buttons too because it's the same buttons in X-wing Alliance and it works fine there. But for some reason I can't seem to get it to work when playing Tie Fighter.

Any help would be most appreciated from some fellow pilots. :GalacticEmpire:

These games have some problems with different keyboard layouts... but something that seems to always work is Shift-F10 to transfer weapons energy to shields.

I dunno about dumping all weapons energy into the shields at once, though...

Yeah I know how to transfer weapons energy to shields and that could suffice if I just rapidly press it, but I was hoping to transfer all the weapons energy to shields with a single button.

Apparently it's possible by pressing the quotes button, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Technically, it's more shift + ' to get quotes on my keyboard. But maybe you're right, that its the kind of keyboard that Im using. It's just weird because it works in X-wing Alliance but maybe being a newer game means that it's more compatible with a wider range of keyboards.

I'm not quite sure, but I seem to remember you might be able rebind this key by clicking on the entry.
