Problem Encountered at Step #: (read the "What Should Happen" for this step#)Problem occurs after step # 13
Which Program (ASGS/Allegiance): Allegiance
What Error Message:None
Comments (What you tried, description, etc):Everything goes well until I try to fire weapons, then I get repeated assurances that the ship is “Reloading”, only nothing comes out the front end. I can play, normally, in the Training environment, but I have encountered this problem in two separate game environments; the DN Beta and the Newbie. I am using a Logitech Dual Action gamepad, for PC. I have remapped controls in both the gamepad software and the online controls menu. As I said, it works fine in the training environment. I have consulted the knowledge base, but found nothing there, to correct this problem.
While I am more than willing to 'take one for the team' in an extreme situation, I don't see it as a career building strategy, in the game. "He's good at ramming" isn't how I want to be remembered. :-)

Well, can you check the key binds? Press Escape - Game Options (G) - Map Keys and Controls ©. Make sure what you have bound for fire is not the same bind for reloading?
