I just got an UE Cruiser and fitted it with 8 Miranu Defense Systems and Defense pods in order to do attack the Rock (last of the Zachit missions) but for some odd reason the defense pods won't fire! OK, they did once, but now they don't. Has anyone else encountered this problem?!? I am really puzzled because I've read posts where people have used this weapon successfully... Any help would be greatly appreaciated!

Never mind, for some odd reason the defense system is working. I'm still having a hard time making the Rock fall, but I think I just need practice...

I understand that they are working but I know why they were not working for you earlier. The answer is that a ship/ any ship has to be selected for the system to fire. It is not like a rocket where it fires when you hit the button. With this in mind you may want to attack a warship with your pod system, keep in mind that you do not have to have that specific warship selected to attack it.

Why are there no maroon ships?

Jubee is correct; defense pods have guidance system 4, for turreted, unguided projectile.
