Hitting Cap Ship Missles

Hi

I have one problem with Saga In mission where you have to shoot down Cap Ship Missles.....I dont hit them. Even if I aim exactly no hit with around 20 Shots.

I use a joystick (Saitek Cyborg Evo with corresponding driver).

am I doing something wrong or is the Hitbox for the Missles this small? Tested in various ranges with various speed.

They can be hard to hit, yes. We recalculated collision data for the next beta - it might help a bit.

I'll look into this for the next beta.

I've just double checked - missile collision detection should work much better from now on.

Sounds good, but I hope it doesn't get too easy from now on 😉

My problem with shooting down the missiles always was that steering gets more difficult when using the afterburner... this is by design, isn't it ? 😊

Nah, the mission should still be very challenging albeit intercepting torpedoes in general might become a bit easier.

Hitting Capmisses haven't been that easy I admit but I never really had a big problem with it.

Well, I had another experience with that one: It felt like the missles were invincible until they reached a certain distance to their targets. Hm, we'll see how the collision detection will work in the next Beta 😊

Rather invicible until they reach a certain distance from their launch size. I'll check for that if I have the time. But unless the balancing is really bad (which isn't the case) I think it's fine as it is.

Personally I think that taking down waves of cap ship missiles is one of the most exciting moments in the game in a sense of suspense. It's actually easy if you manage to get in the right angle and aim a bit in front of the crosshairs. Most of the time I hit them only some meters away from their targets, but I hit 'em! 😁
