Overview

• This software protects small and large ships against enemy missile attacks and fighter drones.
  
• This software protects the leader or the whole convoy against missile attacks and fighter drones. Only one ship within the group should be running this command.
  

Quick Start

1. Equip any ship with Fight Command MK1, MK2, and Mosquito missiles
   
2. Start ``Missile Defense Mosquito'' in the Additional Ship Commands menu.
   

Instructions

Missile Defense Mosquito requires Mosquito missiles, Fight Command Software MK1 and MK2. These can all be bought from Equipment Docks of most races.

Ship Equipment

• A ship of any class (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, TL, TS, TM or TP)
  
• Fight Command Software MK1
  
• Fight Command Software MK2
  
• Mosquito missiles
  

Commands

The software is started with the command ``Missile Defense Mosquito'' in the Additional Ship Commands menu. The software now watches for enemy missiles and drones and fires Mosquitoes at them. To stop the command, remove it from the Additional Ship Command menu (by selecting the command slot and then 'None'). The command also stops if there are no Mosquito missiles present or when they have all been used.

The command ``Missile Defense Mosquito Convoy'', also in the Additional Ship Command menu, allows one ship to protect itself and it's followers. This requires the following ships be using the navigation command ``Follow..'' or fight command ``Protect..''

Does it work with Terran ships?

I really, really wish this command had the option to turn off firing at drones. I hate it when I attack a freighter, which releases a bunch of drones, and then my whole supply of Mosquitos gets used up in a flash. Most of the time drones are no real threat, so when they use up all my mosquitos, I have none left for dealing with the missiles fired by the freighter's escorts.

do i have to have the mosquito missles equiped in my missle slot at the time for the script to work?

i have my captured Blastclaw prototype equiped with mossies and the software but i didnt notice the mossies being used when i was fighting a zenon horde in Black Hole Sun.

I have the same issue ...no mos'es fire at all when this script is active...i have tryed everything to get it to fire.

[Triaxx2]

Perhaps M8's should be removed, since not a single one is capable of using Mosquito's...
