class 8 missiles?

[Unit-sk855]

i think no matter how much we increase the turn rates of missiles, they ll still miss due to lag.

There is another mod that i used to play where ships could thrust at around 500, they could strafe at around 150, and they could cruise at 600. nearly every fighter turned faster than nomad fighters, and a fighter vs fighter combat never resulted in guns getting the kill.

ships could hold 700 missiles, and the missiles did 4k dmg, moved at speeds of disco cruise disruptors, turned fast enough to do a 180 and chase you, and had bigger blast radius's.

Cms fired at a rate of 1 ever 2 seconds, missiles were once every 2.5 seconds, or 1 second. Armor on ships was lower, and the mod was about 100% skill in timing your launches, and your counter measuring.

The point of it is...

Lag was enough to give players an edge, but even at the increased speeds of ship agility, and movement the missiles still hit and landed plenty of kills. I have a video somewhere of me flying in that mod.... lemme find it.

wow, by some miracle i did o.0

Ahh the good old missiles, how i miss the wtfpwnedsauce!

In discovery, fights are much more close ranged fighter vs fighter, in that mod you were 1.5k out most of the time, anything less than that was a flyby then back to around 1k. Also, shooting missiles like in that mod, at as hip in discovery would rail the ship easily no matter the lag every time. The only factor of game bug would be the missiles not tracking, and a quick ctrl t and t fixes that.

Missiles got buffed this mod. Ammo price reduced, speed increased. Made me smile, but they still are to expensive for me.... i suck at trading XD.

To long of a trip down memory lane...

Anyways, current discovery missiles can be effected by lag. Bump them up to much, and they would annihilate everything and lag wouldn't even stop them. Thats what i wanted to say o.0

and i do not want discovery to be like the mod i left. It was soooooooooo boring to not have to learn anything but strafe left, launch missiles in varying order, cm, turn around, repeat, boom or you boom. I would love to see a missile that could work against a target that was not jousting with you though, but that would break the other missiles unless it was weak like the one i suggested.
