Hey, after 3 years mine-missile are working properly? I was thinking to build a two stage mine. First stage no engine, no fuel, just active sensor, second stage missile with active sensor. The mine/missile will automatically activate when an enemy is in range? Thanks! o/
Hi was this fix or it is still bug 1 years later?
So in summary, is everything working as expected or it is not? Steve said there was no game breaking bug in 1.11. I guess even if multi-stages missiles and mines don't work, that's not game breaking for him, but only major (or even perhaps only minor), so it can wait?'Game breaking' at this point seems to mean 'actually unplayable' rather than just missing features. So database corruption or being unable to issue fleet commands would be game breaking, but it is still possible to play without mines. Aurora C# is effectively in early beta right now so I wouldn't worry to much about it.
That is what those check-boxes do. If you don't see the circles then you are either zoomed out too far or in too close.

Tactical window, Display tab, there are check-boxes for Passive vs Signature 10 through 10,000.
Spike, thank you very much. I really hadn't noticed that before.
Is there a way to show the radius visually on the tactical window, similar to how we see active sensors?

This design works as expected. When deployed at a waypoint, it sits there and does nothing except provide sensor coverage.
I've been messing around with mines and buoys too, but for some reason I cannot get figure out how to show the passive detection ranges. They sit there but appear to do nothing. Is there a way to turn the passive detection ranges on?

It must be the first case. In the second case, a fuelled two stage missile that is fired at a waypoint should immediately release the second stage when it arrives. A single stage in that situation should self-destruct if it can't find a target.2. Fueled sensor buoys, for me, appear to have infinite life. I have yet to observe one disappear.
I understand from your phrasing that the 'sensor buoys' have fuel but no engine? In which case it's perfectly understandable that they never run out, as they're not using fuel. (And that fuel is a waste of mass.)
In case you meant they do have engines, then if fired at a waypoint within range, they would move to that waypoint and stop. . . and thus stop burning fuel and again it's perfectly understandable that they never run out. I consider this a two-stage missile and not the sort of buoy I was talking about.
