Launching Seeking Weapons Against Cloaks During Fade

Just to confirm: During the fade period (5P3b), seeking weapons *can* be targeted/launched against an enemy ship that is fading out/in. (5P3b) doesn't specifically mention that this is prohibited, as it does for being fully cloaked (5P3c).

Thanks,

Yes, that is completely possible. In fact, it is a pretty good idea.

Unlike in SFB where lock on was almost guaranteed to be lost. Why an empire would create a machine that's main weakness was their main opponents (the Gorn) heavy weapon is beyond me. /rant off.

not worth arguing my friend.

my main goal with FC has become to lure people to SFB.

Do you have much success with that. I've argued elsewhere that IMO FC should at aimed at being the simpler more casual game, either for people who don't want SFB, or as a game to help pull people into SFB if they like it but want 'more', be it detail, features, competitiveness or whatever.

In that respect I'm interested in whether anyone has managed to use FC to get people into SFB, or have many people playing FC gone onto SFB (beyond 'have 1 go') even if that wasn't a specific goal.
