We have a crapload of STO to kill and we don't want to damage the planet too much.

Or do they generate reduced amounts of environmental damage, like regular Lasers?
They should act as lasers. If there is radiation, it would be a bug. There are a couple of fixes to laser warheads for v2.5.1.

Code: [Select]
STO PD Gaus R300-100 - 0013
Transport Size (tons) 1 169.5 Cost 221.48 Armour 24 Hit Points 36
Annual Maintenance Cost 28 Resupply Cost 0
40K Twin Gauss Cannon R300-100 Turret
Range 30 000 km Tracking 16 000 km/s Damage 1 / 1 Shots 4 Rate of Fire 5
Maximum Fire Control Range 80 000km Chance to Hit at Max Range 63%
Maximum Sensor Range 2 312 486km Max Range vs Missile 208 124 km
Duranium 54 Vendarite 48.48 Uridium 8.5
Development Cost 1 052
This seems correct to me.

Do you see an active, rather than thermal, contact before the missiles hit?
Also, is the race firing the missiles designated as hostile (red contacts) ?
I'm obviously missing something.
Because it is news to me that you can see active sensor range & resolution for STO elements.
I think / assume it was from an active sensor. I clicked "Active on" for the formations in question.
And even had a Deep space tracking station on the body.
Yes the race is designated as hostile.

« on: July 21, 2025, 04:46:53 AM »I'm having issues with my ground forces STO PD firing at incomming missles.
Alien race is set to hostile.
My Racial Tracking speed in 4000
Incomming missles are 15.5 km/s
Gaus Cannon twin turrent point defense - ground forces elements present.
Targeting mode set to point blank.
But nothing happens.
Am I missing something?
When you designed the STO in the Unit Class Design tab, did you check the Point Defence Weapon box?

Just to be absolutely clear - When you say nothing happens, you mean that the missiles slam into the planet uninterrupted yes? In the context of PD nothing happens sounds like the best possible outcome
Yes, Point defense doesn't fire. Incoming missiles pass through the PD range and hit my ground forces.
Are your STOs ordered to fire in point defense mode on the STO Targeting tab of the Ground Forces window?
Yes they are in PD mode, tested different modes.
If I set them to fire at ships, they fire at ships.
I checked the Sqlite DB and the formation element actually is assigned as "Point defense".

« on: July 15, 2025, 06:24:24 PM »What are the requirements for the ship to be commanded by the higher rank officer? (besides the CIC modules and Senior C.O. checkbox)
Sometimes the ship without any module and the checkbox unchecked will require CDR instead of LCDR. Is it the tonnage/mil modules tonnage/weapons tonnage or something completely different?
Most of the rules can be found here.
However, I believe the command requirement for a ship with weapons was reduced to +1 rank instead of the listed +2. Diplomacy Module and Primary Flight Control are not listed but require +2 ranks.
