It't time for another EMP missile - hack - 07-21-2009
' Wrote:Ammo for this would have to be expensive, as these wouldent be cheap to produce. also, 500m blast range? are you nuts? thats half a kilomiter range off a fighter launched missle.
It could be expensive... that wouldn't fase me.
A nova torpedo has a 1K blast radius, and that gets launched off of a bomber.....

' Wrote:It could quite offset combat.
Imagine a fight where someone spams you with these missiles......you would be dead in no-time.
How would any GB, Cruiser DD or BS defend against that ???? They would be sitting dogs.
And if Caps are fighting each other, then it is a matter of who fires the 1st EMP. Then while continue firing EMP's keeps pounding the enemy witout fear of getting damaged.
Quite offsetting and unbalancing weapon....
Perhaps if time is very low (like 1-2secs), damage ratio limited to the ship where it is fired on, etc.....
And yes I realise that makes it behave much less like an EMP, but otherwise I say no
That's why I specified such a low refire rate. I could be 0.50 or 0.25 Keeps people from spamming them.
Quote:Quite offsetting and unbalancing weapon....
Not as bad a those who are spamming the missiles in the first place
Definitly ONLY affect the ship it was fired at. I agree with that.

Good to know, thanks!

*cheering masses*
This is the balance for missileboats!
Ill put one on my libby. Dumbfire or tracking?

Quote:The ballance for missileboats
I thought we ballanced that out so one missile uses 2/3 of your gunboat's power....and lower damage...that's the ballance that got implemented
Gunboat missiles are very effective, I will give you that, but that is really no reason to make a weapon only for countering them....then no one would mount the missile turrets and this launcher would go to waste

They got around that fix. How? Missileboat swarms.

Missileboat swarms
Ummm...
that's silly sounding
If they anti-fighter ships give fighters such a hard time, call in a Cruiser....It's their job to nuke those little gunboats you know....
then again, capital ships are so shunned these days, no one would dare to ask one for back up...ever
EDIT: I must admit I like the beefed up class 8 shield buster missile far better than this specialized anti weapon one
Cause I've been wanting a class 8 shield breaking missile for months!

You know, I think your right, a beefed up neutralizer with the extended power drain would prolly be easier to implement!

So who do we ask to get this Bulked up Neutralizer implemented?
It't time for another EMP missile - Robert.Fitzgerald - 07-22-2009
I agree with kikatsu, if you are being hurt by anti fighter weapons in fighters, perhaps call in a LNS battlecruiser to deal with the gunboats. Alternatively, make some of your own gunboats to fight back with?
Edit: Class 8 missiles are a good idea so light fighters have more options, but I don't think a specific anti gunboat emp missile should be implemented. After all, they are supposed to defeat fighters with ease.
