But subspace DOES work, it's just that ship's bleed off speed relatively slowly.  What I do is chop the throttle to zero after I'm done and wait for the speed to drop to around 50, then I hit subspace.  

*sigh*  It's a shame that there's no other way to end a mission besides RA and jumping.  RA isn't really an option since it doesn't give you your mission debreifing.

...and I WANT missile hits to be friggin' lethal.  Forces you to use different tactics and flying techniques than you would for FS.  

Besides, Chinese missiles aren't all that good.  You can find a way around them, trust me.

Hell yeah! Reminds me of Playing Judas, how Rama wing finds you just before you're allowed to jump out. I knew I'd be toast if any of those missile caught me, and try as I might, I just couldn't make my ship shake the annoying way the AI does.

Hmph. 12 countermeasures and a (literally) unmaneuverable ship are not conducive to missile evasion. Those things make Ursas look good- aspect missile heaven. The countermeasures I never learned to use effectively anyhow, but I should be able to dodge the damn things until they run out of range!

I've never had any issues with beating 'playing judas'.

In fact After scanning everything I managed to destroy one of the cain's and a freighter.

Of course, I failed the mission because I was discovered.

If you can't use countermeasures then you = dead

Does it seem reasonable to you that a 30 ton fighter should be capable of out-maneuvering a 700 pound missile that was (I might add) specifically designed to destroy that kind of ship?  If you can't use CMs correctly then maybe you should practice using them until you become proficient with them instead of complaining whenever you get slain.

Yes, actually. I've got the brains and the afterburners. But that's beside the point. Say you use one CM per missile (I use between 2 and 5, and I suspect I'm not alone here, at least at the low end). That's 12 missiles you can ideally dodge. Which comes to maybe half of what is thrown at you in some of those "training missions".

[jonskowitz]

That's technically true... and at the same time not.  When the computef fires on you they launch in droves, so you're technically dodging two or three missiles at a time.

But since outflying the things isn't an option I think I will increase CM payload.  (that's why we playtest things  )  Thanks for the input Stryke.

BTW- try dodging missiles in an A-36... no AB
