That's my general rule of thumb anyway - though I only play with lwami now. There, they're registered with a max speed of 60, so while they should hear well at 55, the self noise at that speed (which the sensor is flagged to be affected by) is too much. I've had supertanker screws at some 50 yards or so without a 55kts passive reacting to it.


You can, through scripting, make sure to turn on the collision avoidance for any number of ships.
Thanks for the tip on the passive torps! I was beginning to question their usefulness. The above scenario was played used LWAMI 3.0B.

I have yet to try scripting in the mission editor. How would one use scripting to do this?

Thanks again!
