today i tested some F.O.F. cruise missles on a corp mate... >:) (sorry dude).
I encountered the following:
F.O.F. only launched when target attacked me, the second he didnt attack me the F.O.F. couldnt be launched.
How do F.O.F. work precise?
Is it possible to attack a target with F.O.F. who acts neutral towards you? Or is F.O.F. just a weapon to use for situations when your scrambled?

FoF missiles appear to only attack people who are locked onto your ship in the same way that defender missiles only intercept the missiles that have you as their target.
The thing is FoF missiles attack ANYBODY who is locked onto your ship. Including your mate running the tracking link and energy transfer modules.
The corp mate had me locked too, and didnt attacked me. Still the FOF didnt go for him
So basicly what a F.O.F. is for, is to use missles when your sensors are dampned or your sensors are scrambled...
But what about people with a negative security rating?
If they dont lock me, will the F.O.F. be launched anyway cuz of their threath?

targeting doesn't mean anything, it's not an offensive action for sure.
You do get a msg for it.

yes. but it's not an offensive action, maybe many people is not familar with those heal moduals like shield transfer etc, they all need a lock.
So offensive action is reason for FOF to hit the target, but what does that mean for a negative security character. Will FOF hit these ppl at all times?

Ok after some serious testing with a negative (-5) char, we found out that F.O.F. only shoot ppl who locks you... not negative ppl.
