Old balance issues

[mjolnir]

one of the main reasons (i think) is the extremes in skill level in fighter sized craft. your either good or you suck, plain and simple. missles could level that gap in skill out so that people don't jump straight to capships.

Well.. this is not true... I have trained many people in fighters who were just hopeless first.. yet after only 1-2 hours of training they get to a normal average level.. or even better if they have talent.
After you are up over the average level (example.. don't eat SN on first pass.. , don't try to outturn a more agile craft.. just the very simple things...) all fights become rather close and depending a lot on luck/outside factors.

EDIT: Honestly... only problem I see with fighter missiles.. is that they don't hurt non-vanilla ships so much

capships would have hundreds of missles in reserve for extended fights. if missles become better, the only thing that would limite their use would be high energy consumption.

First... some gunboats are only twice the size of some bombers.. or even less :shok:.... so where would the "hundreds of missiles" be? Also.. if they are there... they surely do take some space.. so if capship missiles would take cargo space it's all fine by me.
