Power to shields or weapons.

[crashland]

Hello all. I've been playing for a couple of weeks and as yet I haven't been able to increase power to either shields or weapons using the default [ ] keys. All I get when I press either key is a brief screen flicker but no change to the actual numbers on screen.
I re-mapped the keys to two different keys that I don't use and the same thing happens.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Hello and welcome. The most likely cause is the energy bias setting is mapped to an axis input, which will override any key/button input when attempting to change the setting. Check the Options > 'Axis Configuration' menu and see if 'Energy Control' appears next to one of the input indicators. If it appears next to one, click on that axis input indicator and then click on 'Clear Axis Control' to remove that binding. You can then control energy bias with keys or buttons.

That's exactly what the problem was. Thanks so much for the quick reply
