    • Can't make Wraithii vulnerable to point defense?

      I created a PD beam that seems to work fine ordinarily, but it doesn't fire at wraithii even tho I edited Nova Data 4 (using the RSCC EVN editor) and cleared the "immune to point defense" box for them.

      Any ideas as to why this might be?

      it would probably be because wrathii are a dumbfire projectile, Pd wepons only target guided missiles and fighters

      Exactly. PD only fires at guided weapons and fighters.

      You could get around this by making it instantly sub into a guided projectile with a turn rate of 0. Of course, that may be beyond your level of expertise, but it is the only way to allow it to "track" the ship up to 45 degrees off. If you don't care, just cahnge it to a guided weapon and give it a turn rate of 0.

      Doh! This point is documented in the EVN bible, but I hadn't noticed the guidance type.

      Thanks, Edwin and orcaloverbri9.
