Train Cruise Disruptors

[tansytansey]

TCDs actually fail more often than they used to. They're -too- fast for their own good, that often they'll miss their target, not being able to turn fast enough, then circle around their target until they explode.

Also, CDs are the reason Digital Anvil gave us Counter Measures.

Anyone trying to escape from CDs, thinking the auto-CM will save them needs to rethink their strategy. CMs make the CD explode on the CM munition... if that munition is directly behind your ship, the explosion radius is still going to hit you. If you fly head on into a CD, no amount of CMs are going to make it miss, because you are between the CD and the CM. The CD isn't going to fly around you to get to the CM. You have to make evasive manouvers to escape CDs, as well as launching CMs. Even 100% efficency CMs won't stop you from getting hit.

Also, TCDs aren't the be all end all CDs, Mosquitos serve a different purpose. They're designed to intercept ammunition and can blow up capship missiles and novas (I think).
