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

ECM is a cover for all counter mesures in this game as far as would understand any way.

For all attacks there is a defence.
So pumping out a signal 10 billions times stronger so the missiles can tell the difference between a ghost ship <decoy> and the real ship means that it would actually be easier to deflect the missile using counter measures as you could flood the area with its homing frequency and deflect it off.

My use of non- electroinc counter measures was just an indiaction of the ease that missiles can be stopped from hitting their target.

No matter how it senses the target you can make a defence against itit some way.

Thus ECM or counter measures should effect missiles as well as direct fire weapons. Also Combat sensors aid in their attack as well.
You state that distance makes a difference in combat today, well then why does it make a difference in space combat over greater distances?

I also think you are greatly increasing the power required for the "radar" systems required to detect over a distance.
