Title: Help with buoys/missiles
Post by: Rich.h on February 11, 2016, 04:10:56 PM
Is there any way to either SM destroy or via normal game methods, get rid of sensor buoy type missiles? I ran a test where I fired one at a way point that was under the maximum range. Now the missile sits at it's target location and neither dies on it's own nor runs out of fuel. For a year or more now I keep getting interrupts saying "1x Size 1  Decoy Buoy cannot find its target. It will home on the previous target location and use onboard sensors to search for a new target".

I can't seem to select them with SM and also can't seem to target them with a ship to blow up, have I missed something or will they die off eventually? If so what sort of time frame?

I must be a little blind as looking through all the screens list I can't see one that shows just missiles, did you mean the missile design screen or something else?

On the combat overview window there is a "Missiles in Flight" tab where you can destroy your own missiles

Ah yes yet another tab/window I was unaware existed, thank you.
