 |

i did not find a rule about an alarm for incoming missiles.
does this system exist RAW? Have i have to look at my sensors to notice that a missile is coming`? |

It doesn't exist. You could work something into Passive sensors setting off a warning for active sensor locks...

I was afraid that there was no RAW Option
Do you have a good working rule for that? |

Not that i have seen. I have heard some suggest that if a targeting ship USES its fire control bonus, then the signal it sends out can trigger a 'targeted ship's sensors off. While if just using base skill, there is no signal, so no trigger goes of.

Well, technically painting any target with your targeting recitals, whether a laser cannon or a missile system should 'trigger' a warning signal.

So then because there would be no sensor alarm roll, the targeted ship couldn't make a piloting dodge?

X-wing games are canon (legends canon now) and certainly have missile warnings. Is there a missile warning in rots?

Targeting recitals are so much more exciting than piano recitals... 
RE: the OP, the closest you'll get to RAW in this area is an indication that any combatant wishing to use a weapon's fire control bonus will need to have the target ship on sensors. Passive sensors are far less powerful and have far less range than active ones, so most targeting locks not intended to be covert will be active sensor locks. Active sensors should be easy to detect, even on passive sensors, but as far as a launch warning? I'd demand a sensor roll.

If not a launch warning itself, how about a general proximity alert? Surely the sensors would naturally beep out an alarm of some kind if there's an object closing in on the ship abnormally fast. |

It would depend if the targeted ship already knew the enemy was there or not.
