To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Can't Target Hostiles?

So I just started playing the game.  I've been dabbling in Elite: Dangerous and I wanted to check out its roots.  

 

Here's the thing.  I just finished that race to Ghandi.  Yay!  Used my winnings to buy medicine.  When I fly to Soholia I ALWAYS  get attacked by pirates.  No matter how many times I load, no matter how fast I try to fly through, no matter what, I get targeted.  

 

I can't fight back.  I press T to target hostiles.  It does nothing.  I click the little red targeting reticle.  Nothing.  I can't fire missiles.  All I can do is manually aim lasers and hope for the best.  

 

What am I doing wrong?  What can I possibly do?  I am totally stumped and can not progress any further.

It's been an age since I played this and I can't remember offhand but don't you have to click on the icon to fire the missile.

 

Also make sure you have some missile on board.
