How do I survive missiles and torpedoes?
Keep your distance and high transversal (move across their path).
- Before the run, fit point defence. The
Rampart Gatling shoots down missiles aimed at your hull on its own; the 
Flak Cannon's Shockburst destroys nearby enemy missiles. - Lean on shields: they resist 30% of high-explosive damage, armor only 20%.
- In the fight, keep your distance and move across the missiles' path. Missiles coast for 0.8 s after launch before they accelerate.
- A
Signal Jammer briefly disables nearby enemies' missile homing. A squadmate's Remote Tracking Shroud does the same for missiles aimed at you.
Good to know
- Torpedo reload was slowed in Beta Patch 1, from 1.5s to 2s.
- Signature radius doesn't affect missiles. Missiles can't track a cloaked ship.
Changed in Beta Patch 2: Cruise Missile damage fell from 200 to 180, Torpedo from 250 to 225, and homing bonuses shrank.
