Give missiles to freighters.

[~}P{~ Legendary]

Space is dangerous. Every pilot need some firepower to save his/her life.

I support the "place the missile on the cd mount" idea.

I know .. traders gonna trade, but not all of them have the money to pay those hungry pirates. And a single freighter (just like newcomers) can't even afford to pay for an escort.

Give them 1 missile mount, with limited fire angle... So they can't use it effectively while TS/TZ, so they need to face their opponent to make some succesful shots.

On the other note, to not make them op, make it emp missile.

Transport "Avalanche" Missile Turret Type I-II or something

Tpye I's should be used on freighters on the cd mount, about 10k shield damage, 5-10k energy needed to be fired.
Type II's should be used on bigger transports, one of the front-firing turrets, 20-25k shield damage, 15-20k energy needed to be fired.

While it uses energy to fire, not all of the transports use them.
Also, it drains the energy a lot, so the player should choose.. Waste all of his energy to take down his enemies shield, or use them rarely, and focus on dodging, and TSing.
Make the ammo a bit expensive (10k per ammo, or even more)

I'm a bit tired to think about balanced things, so if my idea is good, give it a shot, and please discuss it.
