In all honesty non-tracking missiles that can explode in your face as well and rely on the server not being under load to actually fire immediately are far from noobtube guns. In fact they are more like RNG guns.
The mini razor is also not exactly an easy to use thing either but at least it doesn't have the tendency to explode in your face and cause you more harm than on the enemy.
I personally think the tracking stuff we had were perfectly fine. The only reason we now saw the huge problem of the Starkiller tracking was because now good pvp'ers were also given an extra slot for it while before missiles were on a gun slot which good players preferred to keep a gun on.

+1 50 torpedoes is WAY too much. I remember Cannonball missiles (which I believe had similar damage to the Starkiller now) had like 20 or 25 maximum ammo?
What you are saying that 50 torpedoes ammunition is WAY too much is ridiculous. This means that the original FL wasn't on your taste either because 50 missiles/torpedoes were the original ammo limit in this game, therefor 50 missiles or torpedoes are NOT too much, this is how the game was launched and it was played like this for years now.
Quote:What universe are you living in? .85's missiles were completely useless unless you facerammed somebody with them. When I say "unbalanceable" that means both sides of the coin, useless and too useful.
I remember very well that back in 2008-2009 or maybe later as well, missiles were almost untouched and weren't that bad.
Here, read this short description about how missiles were designed in this game, maybe you have never thought of this or maybe you forgot:
"Missile ammunition is limited to 50 rounds per launcher type.
There are three families of missiles: Javelin family caused the highest amount of damage for weapon level. Stalker family has higher tracking capability than other types. Eraser family specializes on shield damage."
As you can see missiles were designed to make sense in this game, not to be removed. If you love to play without missiles, I do not condemn you at all. Sorry.
