Seb
rank | Mon Jul 20 01:19:32 You missed an unarmed ship that couldn't fight back NaMBLA. That's lame. |

Seb

rank | Mon Jul 20 16:24:32 Wait, what happened to the Torpedo? Apparently, MK48s are designed that IF they miss, they double back and retarget instead of just continue on. |

rank | Mon Jul 20 16:28:14 days past, when torpedoes missed their target, they would likely keep swimming on until exhausting their fuel supply, or until they detonated. That’s not the case with the Mark 48, however. When the Mark 48 misses its target, it doesn’t stop hunting. Instead, it circles around using its onboard computers to reacquire a lock and attempt a second attack. https://ww...r-built/?utm_source=perplexity |
