Default Re: Missiles: Do they ever miss???

Isn't sci-fi based on real life but taken to the Nth degree.

It makes it more fun to play with things that are grounded in real life but are far advanced of our tech now.

I believe that ECM "Electronic Counter Measures!" would effect a missile more than a ship, as it does now in real life. If you fire a missile from a modern plane it is easier to deflect off target than a machine gun burst, missile v direct.

With advanced ECM you could stuff up an enemies targetting computer, eg B5 Humans V Mimbarie <most likely spelt wrong please excuse me>.

Missiles get the range bonus, so why give them the accuracy bonus as well.

Knowing this about needing Combat Sensors, I will be not bothering with it that much as I mainly use missiles in my ships early in the game.

A loss really to realism!!
