Hey all, I've played a bit of Aurora and have had some success against what I presume are the Precursors.
This current game, I decided to challenge myself by having a low economic starting position and, as such, I've found myself relying on fighters and light craft more than when I was just starting out.
So, onto the question: Is it possible to make self-guided missiles using the sensor settings with the missiles?
I have tried to do so with EM, thermal, and active sensors set to fairly low resolution (<5000t) against Precursor ships that have thermal >1000 and mass >7500t. These missiles are fired at 110 M km (Gm?) and reach the waypoint at the planet around which the Precursor ships orbit, and proceed to linger a bit and get picked off. None seem to target or engage the ships there.
Am I mistaken in thinking that missiles can use sensors? I know that the precurors, at least in previous games, have had pretty robust ECM, but even if they have 70% knockdown, the missiles should still see them when at the same planet.
So, what am I doing wrong? Is what I am thinking possible?
