Quote from: "Charlie Beeler"Those aren't missiles, they're Plasma Torpedoes. They detect in a similiar manor to missiles and missile defense is the counter. If you have big enough sensors to see them from farther away you'll see the thermal signature reduce as they approach.
Do you still need resolution 0 to detect them? It seemed that as soon as I detected them they hit.
Yes. Intercept is handled just the same as missiles. If you don't have an active that can see the torp the time cycle prior to the torp intercepting it's target point defense will not engage. Same a missiles. In the case of these torps that is at least 400k km's
