Possible to target incoming missiles?

Post by JFJohnny5 »

I swear I remember being able to target incoming missiles in X3; so that you could at least try to shoot them down. Is there a simple keybind that I'm missing to do that in X4?

You could (can) do it in X3, but as far as I know it's not (currently) possible in X4.

Maybe turrets can do it, but don't know yet myself.

I noticed turrets have the capability if you are flying the ship directly. You can change the turret to defense, attack, asteroid, or missile defense.

Yep, they can. 90% of the time they dont hit the missile. But I did notice them firing at it at least.

Turrets can hit things in 1.3 and with pulse laser turrets my Cerberus can hit a missile about 50% of the time before it impacts, Capital ships however don't have any turret control or orders so they don't shoot at missiles at all no matter what.
