class 8 missiles?

[Jinx]

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.
