basic gunboat missile

[eigos]

I noticed yesterday, basic gunboat missiles dont hit the hull. Targets were:
-stations in missions
-weapon platforms (any kind)
-xeno starfliers (cant kill a single one despite hitting it)
-wrecks

In addition, they seem unable to damage transport hulls too...

Any ideas?

Working as designed. Gunboat missiles (and the Asco torpedo) are EMP weapons now. 10K shield damage, but only 200 or so hull damage.

Agree. Gunboat Missle Turrets are useless now.

Not really. Keep them trained on enemy bombers and see how well they can SNAC you.

Then add a single razor for some extra direct hull sniping ability.

Missile is a wasted slot on an all-purpose gunboat. If you know you will be fighting mostly snubs, then it can be used for the specific purpose of deshielding and draining those targets. If you fight anything bigger, using a missile will result in less damage output versus the enemy, and you will just die sooner.

THe biggest thing I would worry about is the fact, that Missiles won't work, when the server pop is high (mostly the case).
