I liked the missles, i used to buy 3 miranda class with the 6 heavy missle pods and 4 reloads. They could take down even the biggest command ship and had the speed to get away from retaliation.

Well, ain't that clear? That's normal even now with torpedos from subs.

Too close the systems aren't armed, too far and the sub's too fast out of range.

I used to be an avid Starfleet Battles (and SFC) player back in the day. The reason photon torpedoes always missed at a range of less than 2 was because the blast radius would also damage the torpedo launching ship. Safety interlocks prevented the torpedo from detonating. You could override this by launching "overloaded" photons (doubling input power) but IIRC you would receive 4 pts of damage from back blast.

It was just another way to add tactical depth to the game.

All of which was subsequently trashed in SFC3, basically ruining everything that made it good.
