NPR missiles going 33000 kph, my twin gauss turrets R400-100 i am using with beam fire controls R32-TS12000 with active sensors AS58-R100 are not shooting down missiles. I do not even see the missiles . i just get message ship destroyed by missiles in events.
Do I need to up my TS to over 33K My fire control speed rating is currently at 4000km/s or am I doing something wrong
The sensor is the problem. Resolution 100 sensors are not made to detect missiles. In fact, they are targeted at detecting 5000+ tons ships.
In the design you should see what the MCR is, that's the distance your sensor can see size 6 and below missiles.
If your MCR is smaller than what the distance the missiles can cover in the 5seconds period (in this case, 33000x5 km), the enemy missiles will not be detected and the gauss turrets will not shoot.
You generally need a second sensor for missile (and possibly fighters) detection. Resolution 1 is the way to go for that usage. You'll notice that the MCR is much higher than your Res100 sensor.
A good rule of thumb I use is to have at least 1-2 million km MCR, so that you can also get bonus tracking if you researched the appropriate tech (it's called max tracking bonus against missiles or somethign similar). As tech gets higher, range should get higher to accomodate for enemy missiles being faster, especially if you use AMM too.
