Hardly, they may need to consider the impact of exploits like that described - using L Dumbfire Turret pods as Tracking Ammo pods (or visa versa for that matter).dholmstr wrote: ↑Fri, 1.

Mar 19, 12:07 By the way, if you really want to go nuts with missile capacity - get an Odysseus, install 4xL Dumbfire turrets & 2xM Tracking turrets.
Total capacity: 1,380 missiles, absolutely none of which need to be dumbfire...
Those L turrets never fire if there are no dumbfire missiles on board, however they do still seem to function as auxiliary missile storage pods for any other sort of missile - each L Dumbfire turret adds +300 to capacity (rather than +100 for L Tracking turrets).
Now that turrets are fixed, can we adress other ballance issues?

Turret tracking is fixed. Turret damage is still pretty low unless I'm mistaken and needs a buff up.

Well, try buying an eclipse and equip with tracking MK1. Whether 1 launcher or 4, it stays at 20 missile capacity. I know MK2 missile turret increase by 2 each time. What I am talking about is each launcher adding to missile capacity. It looks like it is a little different with destroyers.Buzz2005 wrote: ↑Fri, 1.

Mar 19, 03:13 I don't really understand why missile capacity is not tied to the number of missile turrets. Aren't the missiles supposed to be loaded directly into the turrets, and not cargo? Therefore, each turret should add to the missile capacity of the ship. For example 1 turret = 10 missiles, 2 turrets = 20 missiles, etc. MK2 turrets would add 15 missiles each instead of 10 missiles each.

That's what mk2 launchers are for. For S ships each mk2 launcher adds either +1 torpedo, +2 tracking or +2 dumbfire, while for M ships those numbers are doubled. It's the USP for mk2 launchers - the extra missile capacity is why they cost so much more. Otherwise they're identical to the mk1's - same missiles & (as far as I'm aware) same rate of fire.Falcrack wrote: ↑Sat, 2. Mar 19, 17:46 Well, try buying an eclipse and equip with tracking MK1.
