I don't care to start a debate about whether or not autofire is a lazy thing to do, I'm just asking if it's working.
The boxes highlight green, but they do not fire when I'm in range, or even after I've hit space bar. (Meaning that they fire when I hit space bar, but they don't fire again once they refresh)
Everytime I've tried it it fires the first time I start it manually, then stops and doesn't seem to start again unless I manually click a button (or press a hotkey).
It goes on and off for me so usually I just use the fire all weapons button since the auto fire has been acting up for me. I am sure they will fix it in a patch if it's a glitch.
I do use auto fire on my phaser. have to much to do focusing on my debuffs cooldowns and aligning to fire torpedos, keeping a eye on my shields and managing power. its not leazy, you do something else... and it usually more than hitting the spacebar over and over.
It seems that if the target is out of the target arc even for a moment, the autofire stops until its manually stated again. Is there a way to set fire at available target? I.e. Front phaser on ship in front, back phaser on one in back?
I just wanted to write that I tried autofire again tonight and although I needed to hit space once for a new target, thereafter it worked as expected even as I orbited.
So I'm ok with it as it is, though it would be nice if you didn't have to manually fire that first shot when changing targets. But then again, at some point you might NOT want to hit something or aggro it, so it's probably better this way.

Sorry, I couldn't not say it. To answer the real question, last I checked it was working fine for me.
Check to see if there are damage floaters above your target.
So I don't use it.
I'll try it again after a patch or two.

what do i push for autofire anyways?
Right click on the weapon you want to autofire. IIRC, you can only have 1 fore and 1 aft weapon set to autofire.
