Talk:Avalanche
I'm using Avalanche missiles with my Interceptors right now, and at my main base, the missiles aren't reloading after being used. I've now sent my ship out several times, and each time it engages with empty magazines.
I know (hope) that this problem will be corrected when I get Plasma Beams, but wonder if there's any way I can get around it now? I thought of buying a spare launcher so I can swap three of them around, but that leaves me in trouble if a UFO shows up while I'm reloading.
This is probably a dumb question, but do you have any spare missiles at the base?
How about switching to a Stingray and see if that rearms.

I see this from time to time: the Interceptor returns home after combat and does not rearm either the Avalanche or the Stingray. The way to deal with this is as NKF described, replace the half empty launcher with any other craft weapon. I think also launching the craft and then calling it immediately back also works.

Yup, the only way to fix this is by forcing the craft to go through a reloading sequence. Swapping weapons is one way. Sending it out is another as when it gets back it has to go into reloading after refueling. You could also try transferring the craft to a different base but this isn't the preferred method. - Zombie 22:07, 8 December 2006 (PST)
