Each fire control will determine what the nearest salvo is... at firing time. So if FC1 takes out salvo1, FC2 will look for the next salvo and not be stuck trying to engage the now eliminated salvo1.
Maybe i understand
Example:
Salvo 0001 4x size 4 missile (distance 1m km)
Salvo 0002 4x size 4 missile (distance 2m km)
Anti-M equipment: 3 Quad Laser Turrett (3 FC all in area defence mode)
--- 5 second (events)
- first FC target Salvo 0001 and fire
- 1 missed, 3 hit
- second FC target Salvo 0001 and fire
- 1 missed, 3 hit (2 overkill)
- third FC target Salvo 0002 (because Salvoo 0001 no longer exists)
- 2 missed, 2 hit
--- ecc...
All correct?

« on: September 01, 2012, 09:07:00 AM »If I recall how Steve said he coded this the answer is: no you don't need to target manually. The code is supposed to target the nearest salvo available at the time the FC fires in area mode. In otherwords each FC evaluates targets available at firing time vs your needing assign the previous impulse what targets you think will be available.
But in this way all FC in Area Defence Mode shot to nearest salvo, or no? (my english is my is far from perfect... be patient

In this case, if all FC is set to "Area Defence", all FC shot the nearest salvo, right?
For shooting 1 beam to each salvo i must target them manually, i think.
It's all correct?

Thanks for answer
The interesting bit is what happens when the 8 incoming missiles were in 4 salvos of 2 missiles each. In this case alternatives A and B would be limited to shooting down 2 missiles from a single salvo because they only have one FC, while alternative C could still potentially shoot down 4 missiles in one increment.
In this case, if all FC is set to "Area Defence", all FC shot the nearest salvo, right?

- Salvo of 8 missiles approaching ship:
- Equipment A: 1 Fire Control - 1 Tower Quad ---> 4 shots on a single missile (or 1 shot for the first 4 missiles?)
- Equipment B: 1 Fire Control - 4 Single Turret ---> 4 shots on a single missile (or 1 shot for the first 4 missiles?)
- Equipment C: 4 Fire Control - 4 Single Turret ---> 4 shots on a single missile (or 1 shot for the first 4 missiles?)
In other world: How many missile system A/B/C can destroy in one fire turn (5 sec)?
(1/1/1 - 1/1/4 - ecc...)
