What have am i missing

[Youngbloodclaw (OP)]

SO, Pretty New to the game and Encountered an Issue.  No matter what i do or design my ship will not fire at missiles.  Not sure if its a design issue with my ships, some thing ive missed, or something iam not understanding. 
Here's my main capital ship, and am Using them and Smaller destroyers for most part.
The enemy's missiles are moving 27500 them selves, just in case thats needed for context. 

Thoughts?

It's been a while since I've actually played Aurora, but I'll take a crack at this.  You didn't say what you were trying to target, but from your last statement I assume you were trying to fire at incoming missiles.  Two things jumped out at me right away. 

1. You only have one type of beam fire control, which under performs for your turrets and overperforms for your spinal mount.  This is not why your ship isn't firing, though. 

2. The real problem is that you need an active sensor optimized to detect small missiles.  Your active sensor can detect large ships out to 200 mkm's, but I'm betting it can't detect small missiles hardly at all.  If your ship can't detect the missiles with active sensors, it can't fire at them.  Sensors designed to detect ships are really, really bad at detecting missiles, which are very small.  Your ship needs an anti-missile active sensor with a resolution of 1 to target the incoming missiles.

To fire (someone chime in if I missed something):

1- active sensor lock of whatever you want to Target.  This doesn't need to be on the ship firing but someone in the system needs to have an active sensor lock or you can't shoot.

2- as was already said sensors are optimized for a certain resolution.  If you want to shoot at missiles then your large resolution sensor won't be able to give you a lock until it's really close.  If you want to shoot, say missiles at a large ship really fat away then it's very likely your small resolution missile detection sensor won't see them either.  So you usually need at least two sensors.  One for missiles and one for larger ships.  I sometimes carry 3, with the third being optimized for FACs.

3 - you need fire control lock.  Unlike with the active sensor this has to be on the ship that is firing.  If it's a beam fire control then it had a max range for anything it wants to shoot at and tracking speed.  The distance and speed of the target determine your chance to actually hit it.

If it's a missile fire control then it's pretty much the same as active sensors (you even design them on the same screen).  Meaning the resolution and size of the sensor determines what you can target and how far away you can shoot.

4- you need to Target and tell the fire control to fire (it'll turn orange) except in the case if point defense guns or missiles.  They need a point defense mode set and they will automatically fire when the conditions are met.
