My hardpoints wont deploy

[Rogue]

When im in a space system they wont deploy but when im like 200 light years away they wll deploy so what am i doing wrong thanks

[YinYin]

Dumb quesiton: are you trying to deploy them in super cruise?

[Mu77ley]

Two possibilities.

1. You're in Supercruise. You can't deploy weapons there.
2. You bought new weapons and haven't assigned them to a fire group.

As Told Check you Fire Group and it doesnt work in supercruise, which makes sense...

how do you get out of super cruise? having same issue, everytime i go to do a bounty mission, does not matter where, as soon as i get to that system my stuff wont deploy. i warp out, or go a station and my guns work again.

At the speed ur ship is going it will just brake off; Anyways guns only work on Normal flight not in Hyperspace nither on SuperCruise

You drop out of super cruise with the same key you use to engage it (or a hyper jump).
If you are trying to get somewhere you best do that when you are close and slow enough to your selected destination ("safe disengage ready").

In super cruise you cannot have anything deployed (hard points/cargo scoop/landing gear). Safety reasons I guess - also it wouldn't be any use to you because you are in a space time warp bubble (something like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive).

ok thanks also is their a way to stop fast because sometimes it will say slow down and when i press s it doesnt slow down

[YinYin]

No, if you are going too fast with a car it will also skid a very long way depending on how fast you are. Your thrusters are only able to apply so much force to decelerate you.

However you can always perform an emergency drop by tapping the fsd button twice. But that will damage your ship - the faster you are the more damage you will take (may rip the whole ship apart).

You cant stop in supercruise if thats what ur wondering only in normal flight.

[YinYin]

Yup - the bubble will always move you at a minimum speed of ~30km/s

Down to that speed it should slow down - however large masses around you inhibit your de and acceleration capabilities, which may sometimes sling you around celestial bodies in ways your thrusters cannot counteract.

How can i tell if i am in normal flight? I still cannot deploy my hardpoints(weapons). I can deploy them in a station, and i can deploy them when i leave a station or warp somewhere irrelevant. But when i get to a galaxy that i am hunting someone down, i cannot deploy no matter what i do.

[YinYin]

Normal flight allows you to:
use your lateral thrusters (going up/down/left/right opposed to just back/forth and rotation)
deploy landing gear
deploy cargo scoop
deploy hard points
switch lights on/off
toggle flight assist
and probably more

Also the best indication is your speed, if you are at or above 30km/s (far above usually multiples of c, light speed) you are in cruise mode. And you can see orbital lines in cruise mode (if switched on). And generally your engine sound should be way different. Lots of things.

[DrunkenBeaner85]

yea thats my problem. I am stuck in cruise mode and cant get out of it. If i press J again i warp back somewhere else.

[YinYin]

Unlock your destination on the left panel and J will drop you instead of charging for a jump.

You can also bind custom keys for jump/drop/super cruise respectively so it's not multifunctional.
