Over 100 salvos of missiles, between 6 and 15 size 6 missiles each salvo, have been raining on my forces for the past few hours in game. Even swatting down most of the concentrated waves (usually 100+ at once) lets around 20 to 30 through. Some ships have taken significant damage, most lucky their oversized reactors and/or engines didn't blow when hit, but so far none of my ships have been taken out. The missile waves have reduced to only a single salvo every minute or so, so they may have run out of missiles. The cruiser Palisade and the destroyers Challenger, Charger, Kamikaze, and the minor damaged Retribution are closing on the enemy formation at around 2x their maximum speed. Its only a matter of time before range closes to missile envelope, where my AMS-26-SS missiles will seek out any ship formation and destroy targets.
UPDATE: The lone Aurora class troop transport siting over an enemy planet supporting the invasion detected a wave of 64 ship hunter missiles with its passive sensors. The crew scrambled to abandon ship. However, before the missiles reached detonation range they diverted course to the planet itself. Major General Eliot Parkin and his staff of Colonel Charlie Sanders, Colonel Ellen Burke, Colonel Andrew Simmons, and Colonel Kai Wikins all narrowly escaped death as they were on a dropship headed to a new forward command post. Brigadier General Liam Mills and the entirety of Black Legion however did not escape destruction.
