-[http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=101319#p101319 Thargoid on AMS (2010)]: AMS deliberately doesn't target normal missiles (hence it's use of missile analyser), simply because it would be a waste of effort when you can just use ECM. And I also didn't make it auto-ECM, as that would make things too easy, and I'm not in favour of having a game that plays itself and ends up boring.

 ''Usage'' - This useful device flies for 100km directly away from the launching ship in the direction it is facing, and performs a scan at the half-way point of its journey and on arrival. Details of what it finds are radioed back to the launch ship in each case, and the missile then about-faces and returns to its launcher for pick-up and reuse (via the normal fuel scooping method).

 The Ships Weapons Department of the Aquarian Shipbuilding Corporation would like to present their latest item, the mini-missile rack.
