Tracking Types
Command Receivers
Command Seeking
Datalinked to a ship’s sensors, Tracking with Command Receivers is simple as locking the thing you want to fire at, and firing, they can’t be jammed unless you jam the ship’s sensors, and it’s range is based on the ship’s sensors. Usually used in the point defense role. Command Receivers supersede validators.
Active Radar Seeking
Active Radar Seeking
Some Missiles use their own radars to find and track targets. These missiles are known as Active Radar Homing or ARH. They are reliant on their own radars, and usually have a validator. They aren’t good validators, as they can be flared or chaffed out easily.
Semi Active Radar Seeking
Semi Active Radar Seeking
Some Missiles use specific radar beams emitted by their host craft in a technique known as beam riding. These missiles are known as Semi Active Radar Homing or SARH. They are reliant on their host craft for radar emission, and usually are a validator, especially if multiple craft have illuminators. SARH seekers require Illuminators.
Anti Radiation Seeking
Anti Radiation Seeking
Anti Radiation Seeking (ARS) locks onto radar emissions emitted by large crafts. While being jammed, ARS seekers have a unique property known as HOJ, or Home On Jam, making them especially useful for validation, meaning they are jam resistant and can fly towards their targets in many conditions.
Multispectral-Optical Seeking
Multispectral-Optical Seeking
Multispectral-Optical Seeking has a photo of the target uploaded into a database frame, making them nigh impossible to decoy. It then uses a database of possible scenarios to identify the target and fly towards it. M-OS are great as validators, making them useful in all circumstances.
Wake Seeking
Wake Seeking
Wake Seeking targets the exhaust on ships, aiming for their engine blocks. They are easily flared, but if one gets through to your ship, you’ll be dead in vacuum. They usually rely on a validator, but can be used in a conjuncted volley to disable multiple ships in one go.
