Sakarissa Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I was re-reading the tech descriptions I have in my spreadsheet and something caught my eye. I was reading the descriptions of Mk I Standard Missiles and Mk I Short Range Torpedoes. They sound like launchers but only weigh in at 200 tons and 400 tons respectively. If we put a few of each on a ship, do we have to worry about replenishing the missiles and torpedoes in the magazines (like fighters and drones) or do they "auto-replenish" like the 10cm gauss guns?

Ixitixl Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Sakarissa Missiles and Torpedoes do "auto-replenish" like the 10cm Gauss Guns. Torpedo are heavy and do more damage, but they are more likely to get "shot-down" by CIDS systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozboym Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Mk I Standard Missile description says: Missile Strength: Poor which implies it acts like a missile. 4cm Gatling CIDS description says: Counters: Missiles, Fighters, Drones which implies (but does not confirm) it will counter any weapon with a "missile" strength. But who knows for certain, even if you tried them in a real battle there would be no information feedback to confirm they do or do not do what you expect.

Ixitixl Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 The description for the Mk I Short Range Torpedo also gives a missile strength of poor and says that they are easier to knock down than missiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowKitsune Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Close In Defense Systems will target any guided, or indirect fire, munition, which includes Missiles, Torpedoes, Drones and Fighters. Only Drones and Fighters require 'replenishment' all other weapons have (effectively) infinite ammunition. YMMV -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
