class 8 missiles? - Unseelie - 12-12-2007
@StarButt....this is a flame:
You have no idea what you are talking about, go away, or come back with constructive criticism, or, lets see....a brain, or, did you know, that, on void, they don't use b/b? If you don't like how we do it here, go somewhere else, no one likes you.
@the rest of you:
As far as a smokescreen goes, how would one fire it behind them as they ran away?
Darts look like a good idea, but, tracking has its problems....that can't be surmounted...its like the AI autopilot, we upped the speed, now it sucks.
Trailing mines might be sweet....I really want to haul a chain of them into Starbutt.

' Wrote:Why are u ppl Bull-cr***ing about smoke screens, missiles that target windshield and spray it with oil and such, while it's so obvious armors are to0 great, bots/batteries are too many, and existing missiles do not do enough damage, nor they track good enough. Fix the existing ones...don't invent. If tracking of missiles cannot be fixed withing existing engine, at least double their damage and blast, so that since only 3 out of 70 will hit, those that do hit, HURT.
... learn to aim a cannonball, grasshopper. The tracking system is not there to save lazy people the effort of aiming, right?

' Wrote:about tracking / homing missiles....
can a missile be treated as "taking the targets wing"? - i mean, by the engine. it appears that taking someones wing works a lot better than actually shooting a missile at someone. its less affected by lag.
so - maybe a missile that is getting into formation ( as its homing ability ) and detonates there - ( proximity detonation as a necessity, cause taking someones wing will not hit him ) - i think no matter how much we increase the turn rates of missiles, they ll still miss due to lag.
something like that could be a shield buster - cause it explodes away from the target anyway. - and i wouldn t mind a shield buster with a huge explosion range.... give the attacker a bit of responsibility not to shoot something like that into a group of NPCs or friends. 10 hull dam, 5000 shield dam to a huge radius - not even vanilla ships are affected worse by that, cause its just shields.
about ammo, is it possible to make missiles shoot 5 ammo with one shot? - that might be a way to reduce the available shots. ( like VIP taking up 5 cargo units instead of 1 )
then you d have to buy 70 still, but would only be able to shoot 16 missiles. that way its possible to make really tough missiles, when the dicussion goes towards the BIG missiles.
Kind of a hybrid missle/mine that has tracking abilitites but after a certain distance from the player will detonate automaticly.:$

allthough i agree with you blunt - the aiming system IS there to save lazy people from aiming:laugh:.
at pinky and brain : ... its more cause the "formation" works much better than the tracking does - most of the time ... cause the speed of the subject taking formation and its agility is increased to get into formation - that is... get to a certain point in space.

Yoda would say "...and that's why you fail..."
Seriously, ask Korrd about missiles if he gets active again. He used to make a big deal about aiming missiles. Just spamming them won't work.
So, today's lesson is a repeat of many other days' lessons actually,
"Learn to aim!"

Knowing how to aim with guns is always better than relying on missiles that could get depleted in long fights. But there are people who really know how to use missiles.

' Wrote:Not completely....
Sweeper is class 4 (only one)
and class 10 (Paralyzer,Sidewinder) is also an even number.
There was no sidewinder in vanilla and if I am not wrong, no paralyzer launcher was available then either.

Quote:Name: Paralyzer Missile
Description: "Based on an entirely new approach, The Paralyzer discharges the most powerful EMP on the market. Research shows that when used in combat, the Paralyzer can completely disrupt most shields in just one blast. Again this weapon serves as a very useful precursor to a follow-up attack, however further hits with the Paralyzer will also disable a target's powerplant and guns. "
Class: 10
Required Ammo: O-EMP-01 - Paralyzer
Hull Damage: 195
Shield Damage: 7,921
Range: 1,000 meters.
Speed: 90
Refire Rate: 1
Turn Rate: 3
Yeah, sidewinder is new but we had the paralyzer in the vanilla.

Learn to aim at bugged hitboxes that should be made manually for each ship because i die!

Here's a constructive suggestion:
We don't need new missile types. We need existing ones fixed. Increase missile damage, and improve missile tracking!
@Unselie/Bluntsomethingsomething:
Why don't two of u go play Space invaders deluxe? Lots of shooting there, without aiming assistance (and no analogy to reality what so ever). Being such RP experts, I'm sure u could develop an engaging RP story about Space invaders universe....have a ball there...
