How are countermeasures being handled?

Topic speaks for itself.

We have never actually seen countermeasures in babylon 5, didn't u say before that the missles would be few and have long lock on times and not be that maneuverable. If u did people could just out maneuver a lockon or a missle

Thats what it is right now. I think we probably won't have countermeasures, because missiles are so specific and picky anyways.

At present the Venom is dumbfire, but very deadly with some experience. We haven't set the stats on some of our other tracking missiles, but they will be largely fast and unmanuverable. I draw that from one scene in Crusade "Each Night I Dream of Home" (is that right?) where a Thunderbolt launches a pair of tracking missiles that impact and destroy a Drakh Raider. If the Raider were smaller and manuvering, then the missiles porbably would have missed.
