Default Re: Combat Sensors & Multi-Plex Tracking

Combat sensors are needed for direct fire weapons only. There is no need for them in missiles only ships. As to small rocket pods on fighters - it is a very good question. I've been monitoring this board for a loong time and do not remember this topic come up before !

Multiplex tracking is fundamentally different from Moo dauntless guidance system. In SE missliles never rediret themselves when target is destroyed. They will simply disapper. You may still need M.T. in missiles ship if you want to spread missiles. If you have for example 4 missiles on your ship, you must either launch all 4 on one ship or fire 2 and wait for the next turn to fire remaining 2 on other ships. With M.T. you can fire 2 missiles on first ship and 2 on second during one turn.
