Equip crew members with weapons

[weldon26]

I mouse over storage but nothing happens. How do i get my crew members to come to storage ?

To equip a crew member you first have to draft him or her.

Then R-click the storage area with the weapons.

The CREW should then move to the storage and the inventory screen should open.

On my ship I created a small area with a small storage and locking door.
In that storage all the weapons are kept with only them being allowed.
The theory of an arms locker on real ships, okay?


Hope this helps...

On another point why are the weapons all slug throwers? No energy weapons? Sonic Stunners that do not damage the ship?

Thanks for helping with the answer. This is my first top down game. I normally play survivor/ build games Empyrion the best. Maneuvering your workers into airlock is tricky. Have a good day. Thats what I'll do storage locker for weapons only.

It's also worth clicking each of your crew members and looking at their skill with Weapons (at least I think it's that; I think Gunnery is for turrets?) and if you have 2x shotguns and 2x pistols, I gave my shotguns to the two most skilled crew and pistols to the other 2.

A side note, when I was first selecting my crew, the panel on the right shows total stats, and afaik the highest number is 3; I thought this was the SUM TOTAL of all my crew, and after randomizing for a few minutes because I thought if 3 was the sum, then I should put 1 in weapons in at least 3 crew, I realised it must just show your highest of each discipline over all your crew.

Worth a note if anyone is trying to pick a team with Weapons skill, or anything for that matter.
