FOF (Friend Or Foe) missiles doesnt need a lock and deals less damage then regular missiles and therefor are only good at times you cant get a lock like when beeing target jammed.

FoFs do less damage than normal missiles, but have the advantage that they can be launched without a lock on an enemy vessel.
Most people load normal missiles, but carry some FoFs in their cargo bay, in case they get target jammed.

Edited by: Severe McCald on 14/09/2005 15:28:07 FOF's are self targetting missiles. They have lower damage than their equilvalent targeted variety and are only useful when you are target jammed by Electronic Warfare.
They will attack enemy ships without you having a target lock.
I have read that they will only travel to your targetting distance, so if you are damped (EW reduces targetting range, then they may not be useful - have never experienced this, so do not know whether it is true; but it doesn't make sense to me).
Keep some in the hold for that special occasion when you are attacked by an EW platform. It might help, provided the fool is alone.

Few seemingly little known facts about FOF missiles...
For one thing, FOF missiles gain the damage bonus from BOTH the FOF missile skill AND the normal missile type bonus. So FOF heavy missiles for instance get 25% from FOF missiles and 25% from heavy missiles.
One other thing which almost no one seems to know is that unlike other FOF missiles, FOF heavy missiles actually do the same damage as normal missiles if you have FOF missiles level 5. FOF heavy missiles are 25% less damage than normal missiles, which is made up for with the 25% damage bonus from FOF level 5.
