Ballistics (missiles/mines/etc)

[DarthCloakedGuy]

You dont seem to understand.

Missiles travel at ship speed plus their actual speed.

so, 200 (ship speed at thrust) + 230 (what you're proposing) = 430 (close enough to where mjolnir was stating you were going for.)

I can't make it any more obvious for you.

Once more you can't read :rtfm:

You said fighters can just thrust away since the missiles fly at 200... that is not true..

since the missile flies at speed of the ship that launched it + the missile speed

EDIT: McNeo was faster..

to give the full scenario.. you get a missile warning.. you start thrusting away..he fires second missile.. that goes at some 200 + ~200 = 400 .. so it catches you who flies at 200 with ease.

Oh. I see. Well then, perhaps they should have an initial velocity of negative firing ship's speed (200+-200=0) and then accelerate to a speed of 230?
