Surface-to-air/Anti-Aircraft missiles

So, I just had a shower thought and am thinking of just making up a Surface-to-air missile but I'm not sure on how it would stated.

Any thoughts?

I'd probably start by examining the various Ground-to-Oribit lasers and portable missile launchers provided in the game.

One example is the Portable Missile Launcher called the PLX-2, or "Plex," combination missile and rocket launcher. It's made by Merr-Sonn and it's described in the Imperial Sourcebook on pages 121-122.

I assumed he knew about the PLEX and was talking about large, turret based missile launchers--which I don't think I've seen anywhere in D6 Star Wars.

But, maybe he is talking about the SW version of an RPG. I'm not sure.

Your pic didn't show for me, but I get the idea. I'd probably take something like the PLEX, or one of the other carried missile launchers, then upscale it and tweak the stats to taste, using some of the ground to orbit weapons that are in the game as a gauge.

I came up with a whole bunch of rules for guided missiles on starfightershere. For simplicity's sake, I planned on giving ground vehicles the capability to fire them as well.

One of my modules has Sam sites in it and this is what i went with..

Each S.A.M. site consists of 2 four-shot launchers with an Automated Response Unit (which if taken out neutralizes the site).
This A.R.U. has 60km for range of sensors, and 6d for a sensor skill. Once an enemy has been detected, the ARU launches 2 missiles at the target, shooting with a 6d+2 fire control.
If they hit, they cause 6d+2 damage. This is Walker scale due to most enemy ships are walker scale.
Missiles launched have a speed of 560 and a 4 round flight time before they run out of fuel, and so can continue to try and hit the target (by active locking on).
If 2 straight rounds go by with a 10 or more difference between the target’s Dodge and the “to hit” roll, the lock is lost for good and the missile just goes till it runs out of fuel, BUT disarms itself.

Something to consider, most starships have at most a space rating of 10, which means they hit 1,200km/h in atmosphere, making them faster than those missiles.

These will do fine against any slower moving ships, but not against fighters or fast freighters.

560 is its MOVE rating. Looking at most 'stock ships.. we see for fighters;
Z-95, Atmosphere MOVE of 400.
Gauntlet fighter Atmosphere move of 295
Y-wing - 350
Xwing -365
Bwing - 330
A-wing - 450
Tie defender - 520
Tie advanced - 515
Scimitar assault bomber - 295
Tie fighter - 415
Tie interceptor - 435.

So at 560, it can catch upto all of those, unless THOSE ships do 'double or quad move
