One thing I've been trying recently, in order to get around poor AI behavior on the orbital map, is to set my missile launchers to have a long engagement range and using "Instant Action" in the sandbox.
It seems to work as long as the missiles don't have too high acceleration. However the AI tends to throw it's missiles in a long stream that is inefficient against point defense. It would be nice if the AI waited for e.g. 25-50 missiles to deploy before activating homing, so that they attack in a tighter group.

Why not just add the missiles themselves directly to the fleet? You're trying to test the volley versus a specific ship type right?

Is there a way to make the ship start with no missiles in the magazines (to simulate them having been deployed)?

Not while actually emptying the magazines. You can set a launch cap. Depending on how heavy the missiles are it can make a difference though. |
