Most likely you hit planet but since no WP has been destroyed, there is no "phhh!" and visual impression is that you missed planet. The only reliable method to see whether you hit or miss is to check the damage number.

You've got to be kidding me, this thread is still around? Dang, I'm gone for what, like more than a year and it's still on the front page when I get back?!

Since Emissive Armor is being discussed so much, don't forget to check out this thread which contains both a correction about Organic Armor and talks about Emissive Armor. Of course, it was written many patches ago, and I have no clue how accurate it is, since I haven't gotten my Gold yet .

Good to see SE4 is still going strong, and from the history.txt it looks like the AI is starting to shape up a bit.

In one game, after 200 turns, my brother fired his very first shot from a weapon. It missed the planet he was aiming for.
