Hello. Make sure they have weapons. Then make sure they look at the direction they can fire and they are close enough to the enemy - each weapon and ship have its firing arc. To see it - hold alt, as it was said in the tutorial. To make your ships attack enemy ships, choose your ships(left click) and then order to attack enemy (right click on enemy).

[thedarklord2016]

ok.

First thing - didn't find "exit game" option, is that missing or i just couldn't locate it in game?
Second - in running survival mode it always trying to run co-op even if i select solo mode (?).

Top left corner in general menu - there is a button which lets you exit. Right bottom corner in Discovery or in battle - there should be menu. You might not see it if you have 4:3 monitor

Try not clicking on "co-op" or "solo" while getting to survival, just choose a fleet and push play.

In survival when the Injector spawns in the 10th wave, the game crashes when you destroy it. I tested this twice with a friend in Co-op Survival.

Also for the Vanguard ships I have one that says it uses beam weapons but can only equip cannon weapons. I have a beam weapon unlocked.

Thank you for reporting, will get a hot fix for the boss from 10th wave today.

Could you say which one exactly, please?

Hey diegoweiller, I already posted a comment about it in your topic.
About tutorial - have you tried to complete one available in the main menu? It might help.
