Question about Missiles

Post by Novia Star »

I was wondering if any Small ships with only 1 weapon mount came with just a built in light missile launcher. Some ship models seem to have something like a missile rack. Might be nice to just have a single forward firing missile rack on ships that matched its size or combat roll. say a Bomber with 2 built in Torpedo systems. Or Light ships with 1 light dumb fire and or tracker mount.

I seem to remember X3 you just shot what ever missile you had active in your inventory.

Ad is having Missiles really much use at all. Needing to deal with turret mounts secondary weapons and all just barf a cloud of energy rounds into something...

thanks

Nope, get a missile mount, sacrifice a gun mount. No built in missile mounts on anything.

Against S and M ships missiles seem less effective and a waste of money over something like Pulse Laser. However against L and XL ships Missiles are some of the most effective weapons one can use. For example my Odysseus Vanguard has claimed many XEN K and I and it uses exclusively missile turrets firing Heavy Swarm Missiles. The replenish cost is not much once one produces the missiles themselves.
