Quick Overview
 
 
 
Fighting in space is a matter of physics. The detailed chart below is based on physics but doesn't show it. The math in [[Turret mechanics|Turret Mechanics]] and [[Missile mechanics|Missile Mechanics]] does show it. You can find it there if you want it - some do; some don't.
 
 
 
 
 
{{Note box|The bottom line: missiles are really accurate, but they are soooo slow. Turrets are really fast, but they miss a lot.}}
 
 
 
 
 
So, imagine you are in a missile boat and have locked onto a ship carrying lasers. You both fire at the same time. The laser hits you immediately. Meanwhile, your missile is crawling through space. The question is: do you have enough time to fire enough missiles for the kill, or will the laser burn you first?
 
 
 
 
 
More:
 
*If a target is standing still, you can hit it with anything. (The same is true of you … so keep moving.)
 
 
 
*Missiles home in on their targets.
 
:-Each hit always does some damage - they almost always hit.
 
:-They take a long time to get there.
 
:-They fire and reload slowly.
 
 
 
*Turrets fire a stream of stuff - pellets, pulses, ray beams - in a straight line.
 
:-Individual loads miss a lot - but there are a lot of loads.
 
:-They reach their targets quickly.
 
:-They fire and reload fast.
 
 
 
::Projectiles: use no capacitor, all damage types, cheapest ammo.
 
::Hybrids: use some capacitor, two damage types.
 
::Energy: use a lot of capacitor, two damage types, no reloading.
 
 
 
If you want a bit more...............
 
[[File:QST turret range.gif|thumb|upright=0.7|Range affects the damage done.]]
 
Turrets turn; missiles chase.
 
 
 
Missiles depend on range. Beyond maximum range, they do no damage.(But remember, missiles are slow; you can outrun them.)
 
 
 
Turrets depend on tracking and range. Optimal range is the place where you have the best chance to hit - not guaranteed, just best odds. The optimal range plus the falloff distance gives you the place where you have a 50% chance to hit.
 
 
 
Tracking is how fast the turret spins. Faster is better.
