Boom - Boom... Um, the lights didn't go out?
The article link below discusses a common issue with military ordnance - it doesn't always work as expected. Quality control and other measures (such as detonators, fuzes, etc) have improved since the first lobbed explosive was invented. However I think it might never go away given that Murphy still apparently exists in the Far Future. In a fleet action it's a bit different, but I would expect GM's to use this as a possible plot point. And, technically, one wouldn't know that a warhead wouldn't detonate until it actually hits, so it wouldn't be part of any defending roll checking for misses.
So does anyone ever have it where a missile has made it's way through everything a defender can throw at it and it didn't detonate?
