Destruct range 50 mi
??(Enable range) 5 mi
And of course seeker "wide" or "Narrow" - not sure why you'd ever set it to narrow but that's just me. Perhaps if you're in a crowded environment?? That must be it? Two ships (one civilian) and (one bad guy) very close to each other. Set it to narrow for the bad guy. Other than that I don't know why you'd ever set it to narrow. Thanks again. Look forward to reading your response. And thank you for helping everyone else too. I know both you guys have been around for a long time. I lurk.

Missile Settings:
Enable Range: Set this a few miles short of your target. Having it arm too early will give the target extra warning of an attack (especially if its under EMCON) and increases the likelihood of the missile locking on to a decoy.
Destruct Range: Range when the missile shuts down. Set few miles beyond the target or at maxim. This prevents you from hitting neutral or friendly ships.
Seeker [Narrow/Wide]: You were on the right track. Use narrow when there are neutrals about or if you don't want to target escorts in a formation. But if there are neutrals mixed close with hostiles use wireguided torpedoes.
