It would be nice for Amplitude to explain their design intent. Sometimes a problem isn't one, we just don't know why it was done that way and not another.

But there is also i want to add, maybe someone else noticed it. If you put Rockets/Missles into ship in ship design mode, they do not flight straight, but circle around AND same happens in space battles, which leads to me thinking they do not reach target and do not deal damage.

Happens from time to time, do not know what occurres such behavior...

It is rare and it should not be happening. In such a situation no damage is applied. Not sure what is triggering that. Successful evasion of a missile that should hit maybe?

Rare or not, but it does happen.
If you have projectile heavy fleet it might even turn the tide of the battle.
I actaully think you might be right, but how to prove it? I can not check what modules enemy ships have installed on them.

You can actually! via boarding pods!   You can also cheat and use mod

I'll be honest, never used those boarding pods. About mods tho, is there a specific mod for that?

You should try pods agains fleets without flak.

As far as i have noticed almost always enemies use flak :P
Unless it is super late game and their damage is mixed so it is hard to tell. Should have check in space battle :P
