Re: Of Sensors and Needles - Some Questions and Suggestions

I tend to use targetting option 8.
You can target any system whether you know its there or not but if you
hit a
non existant system there is no effect - not even damage from the
missile.
The needle missile closes on the target and at very close range can
detect
target signatures.
 The needle beams are harder to come up with a sensible rationalle but
here
goes. The beams are equipped with highly advanced sensors which have no
trouble detecting systems on the enemy ship but due to system
incompatibilities (and patent infringement and anti trust court cases
between the manufacturers of the ships sensors and needle beam sensors
which
incidently look as if they will continue for decades) they are unable to
pass this information on to the ships sensors.
