Eledore, Missile Suggestion Doc-3:

!
Regular IT and AR (document writen with Human tech in mind) missiles will become independent of the ship operator and will seek a target on there own based on there position and current flight path.

IT Missile:


1: Missile is launched.
2: Missile will record a number of closest targets with there range.
3: Missile will be in non targeted flight for a preset time.
4: Misile will look at record and will select target it has gained the most range on if all ranges have gained it will choose the closest target. Record Range.
5: when target is hit, missile will detonate.
6: Interceptor flight.
7: Flight evaluation. If target is lost or a preset parameters are trigerd logic will goto #2

Examples;
{
1- Launch IT
2- Ranges to targets #1 480gu / #2 760Gu / #3 1065 Gu
3- Flight for 1 second.
4- Calculations: #1 510gu= +30Gu / #2 720Gu= -40gu #3 1040gu= -25. #2 has most increase, Target #2 has been chosen.
5- When target or something is hit, missile will detonate.
6- Flight to target
- Target hit, Detonation.
}

{
1- Launch IT
2- Ranges to target #1 860gu / #2 1045Gu / #3 1375Gu / #4 1780Gu
3- Flight for 1 second.
4- Calculations: #1 855gu= -5gu / #2 700Gu= -10gu / #3 1370gu= -5Gu / #4 3185Gu= +1405gu > Parameters under 1800Gu #4 is removed, Target #2 is chosen.
5- When target or something is hit, missile will detonate.
6- Flight To target
7- Target Lost (ECM or Jumped out of sensor range.)
2- Ranges To target #1 340gu / #3 760gu / #5 620gu
3- Flight for 1 second.
4- Calculations: #1 315Gu= -25gu / #3 745Gu= -15gu / #5 625Gu= +5Gu. Target #1 is chosen.
5- When target or something is hit, missile will detonate.
6- Flight To target
- Missile Destroyed.
}


+ Self targeting.
+ Limits airtime by picking highest hit ratio target, based on own vector.
+ Can correct own flight path.
+ Selects New Target if target lost
+ Selects New Target when target is outside parameters.
- Can't order missile to aim at prefixed target.
- Unknown if missile can be forced to re-target.
- Unknown if you can Manual detonate.
- will increase resources on missile calculation.
