Could be interesting: I'd recommend the following:

torpedoes: give a higher bonus to hit. Like +30.
missiles: 25kt seems too drastic. I'd make them 40kt and a lot cheaper.

Bases are ships for many purposes, such as Weapon Target. For targeting, Ships/Planets = Ships/Bases/Planets. It does not for the Vehicle Type line (which restricts what vehicle types a comp can be placed on) though.

Consider that point-defense cannons are 20kt and can fire every turn, where missiles can only fire every three turns..and often get shot once or twice on the way in.

Now, if torp weapons were immune to the effect of nebula on scanners.... they might have that specific purpose. I have only had one nebula battle, and was not looking to see if ship based scanners still worked or not. tis an idea, anyway.

Some storms interfere with combat sensors (they give a penalty to hit). I think there might be a nebula or two that does that.

If you use FQM, there are a lot of places that will interfere with combat sensors.

Yea, but missles have great range. You can pull into range, fire the missles and back away until the reload time is done. I don't feel anything is wrong with missles. Torps are another issue.

(as is strategic combat) yuk

Exactly. If torps were the best weapon in a nebula, they would have a great, but limited use. and not much other balancing would have to be done then. maybe.

Technically, combat sensors are unaffected by storms. The ships just get a penalty to hit.

Seekers are the only weapons that can be unaffected by storms.
