Default Re: Decoying PD

Hmmm. The latter (cheap, low/no-damage, small faster missiles) could be done now, methinks -- seeker speed is a field specified w/ the missile launcher. However, I don't recall seeing any example of a seeker with abilities such as a defense bonus, so the former might be impossible for now.

A pair ofdecoy-armed ships might perform well in conjunction with, say, a carrier loaded with twin-rocket-pod heavy fighters. Fighters can be much faster than missiles or any ship, can be launched en masse, and do up to 200 pts each...
