Honestly, I don’t know where I’d be without the MAC. I couldn’t even beat the first mission, then I get the MAC and trounce the enemy.

Regarding the speed of the projectile I’ve been recently toying with slowing it down, though for visibilities sake I could always increase the time it takes the trail to fade so if it misses you’ll see the trail going past the cruiser rather than what there is now.

EDIT: I setup a scenario where the I had a single ship firing high speed missiles at an enemy fleet. I used the same deployment every round and found something interesting; the slower you ran the game at, the greater the chance of missile hits. Playing at 4x the missiles were hitting at around 10-20%, at regular speed 40-50%, at 0.2x around 70-80%. I’m definitely going to reduce the speed of the cannon projectiles now.
That sounds like a big problem. Is there a thread specifically discussing this effect?

Is this still true in 1.14? That might explain why I do so terrible – I always play at 4x, because I find the usual battles way too long (5 minutes is plenty). This sounds like a major issue.
