Targeting Systems

In older starfighter models, pilots were required to target their main cannons by eye with the help of a crude sight. Recent innovations in target acquisition have culminated in the development of the Fabritech ANs-5d “lock track” targeting system. This new system allows our pilots to lock onto one or more targets. It illuminates the target and then “lights up” the gunsight when the correct firing angle is achieved. With the exception of a few “old guard” veterans, our pilots universally praise this new targeting system. However, we do recommend that new pilots spend some of their simulator time with the system turned off. In real combat, you may have only a split second to get a shot off. Developing good deflection shooting instincts can spell the difference between a clean shot and a clean miss.

Your spacecraft may be armed with either proton torpedoes or concussion missiles. A positive lock is required before firing, and you will use your targeting system to determine when to fire. The longer you can keep your target centered in your sights, the more effectively the computer can plot an intercepting path.

After the targeting computer has locked onto the target, it downloads the appropriate electronic emissions signature to the warhead’s onboard homing systems.

Once the telemetry has been completed, your targeting computer will flash a green lock signal and you may fire as long as the lock remains on. Once fired, the missile or torpedo will follow the electronic signature of its target. In battle, you won’t get many chances. So make them count.
