Missile fuel?
« on: February 05, 2010, 03:55:21 pm »
Do missile have infinite fuel, or will they fail to hit their target occasionaly? I'm having more fun than is healthy watching the missile that'll kill an AI ship while I drag it around just out of reach with a space plane  ::)

Incoming shots have infinite fuel, and whether they will be deflected by shields or not is determined at the time they are fired.  The only way to avoid a shot permanently is to get way out of its range (as with teleporting ships), or to leave the planet before it reaches you.

This leads to some interesting missile ballets when fighting teleporting ships.
