| − | 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.

| − | 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.

| − | [[File:QST turret range.gif|thumb|upright=0.7|Range affects the damage done.]]
| |
| − | Missiles chase; turrets turn.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Missiles depend on range. Beyond maximum range, they do no damage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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. Wjy? Because the target is NOT standing still.{{clear}}
