Can guns miss

i thought not

from Sins Forums
i was under the impression that guns and missiles did not miss. in fact i believe it was one of the reason's ship's dont move during combat. But during the recent blog, he clearly states that your ships fire can miss? so im confused :-P

You missed the fact that they already said some ships move in the final version.

Shots can miss.
Try to think about that:
If you were in a big space battle fireing on you enemy but then a pink space pony appears.
Hey, who wouldnt miss then....

Missing is implemented in the game, but at least when I checked several betas ago it only really applied to capital ships firing on fighters.

Still pretty much true in beta 4... (and, actually, its flaks firing on fighters -- capitols don't have anti-fighter weapons except their abilities) O.o

Missing shots depends on the combat environment...

Shots can miss and you actually see the shots miss. They miss under a variety of conditions, either by default versus certain targets (e.g big slow guns vs fighters, modifable in data), certain combat environments (e.g asteroid fields), and various other special cases.
