Disruptor Missiles

Post by -{AA}- Salamander » Mon, 2. Jan 06, 19:57

Can a disruptor missile be used to cap a ship? If it takes down sheilds and kills engines i would think it would be perfect for making pilots bail... that and a few IRE or PAC shots.

Usually it takes out shields, engines, weapons, pilot, and hull ;)

So does that mean it destroys it or is it like a perfect capping weapon?

Yes, most usually it turnes the ship into dust..
Still wanna try on ships with heavier shielding - M4/5s just pop up..

Have posted about this previously but anyway after testing.

M5 1x disruptor BOOM
M4 1x disruptor BOOM
M3 1x disruptor 10% shield damage.

Keep firing them at the M3 and it blows up. The missles don't do what they were intended to do. But hell they are free so worth using when there are a lot of pesky M5's and M4's around.

Ran into a buster today and he bailed lol.

Capping with them is not the best idea. They (or it seems to be) no good for this in any manner. You can get better results unloading your energy banks untill there shields are gone (keeping in mind you need to do it quickly).

And I would guess if you could cap with them at all, the success rate is low.
