Post your DB

fixed - turns out the 'new' zanzibar class enemy ship is 780 tons not 7800 - readjusted sensor sensitivity and hey presto missiles away

now - the fire controller is set to be res 120, if i want to be able to hit small ships far away do i need a second fire controller with a lower res?

The other ever popular mistakem have you set the race as hostile? Just being shot at by them does not automatically make them hostile

Yeah - they were neutral and I never had a problem shooting them down then - then I saw the hostile button and thought ahhh I’ll make them hostile - not saying this was the start of my troubles

Like I say - the 2 before these got seen and targeted from 30m km and never saw the salvos coming

Actives out to 48m km with res 120 and 1

Passives out to 30m km

I can see them from miles away - Sol is like the venn diagram from hell there’s nowhere he can go without been seen but within the fire controllers range also of 48m km for missiles with 48m km range missiles ready to go it won’t see the ships as hostile targets - even when they’re shooting me in the face

Do you have sensors on?

As per previous advice I threw on some res 1 sensors - still can’t pick these up

Instead of raging against the ships is it better to disengage and try again

They’re raiders and not actually doing anything other than slowing down game turn time

On that subject is there a raider home world or do they continue to arrive wherever they arrive to harass me

They may have very small active signatures and your sensor resolution is too high to detect them.

Ive chased and followed these 2 ships all the way through my missile max range of 48m km right down to staring into their cockpit windows and now ive been fired upon by close range energy weapons and my ships still wont see these hostiles as potential targets - their 2 suster ships were found and engaged at 30m km and destroyed - i dont know what magic powers these 2 have
