Swarm Missile Pod

[marauder]

Oh well, another one goes the way of the Sidewinder. Major detune. If its the same
for everyone it doesn't matter really. We all get to try something else again.

Theres nothing wrong with the sidewinder, as a missile it's brilliant. Homing, does more damage then the firestalker, good re-fire rate (for a missile anyhow) it can kill NPCs with one hit (though the NPCs have been getting good at dodging lately...).

But (yes there's a but)

Like all missiles it's useless against players because they can pull all kinda stunts to dodge that the NPC's can't. Plus the time you spend lining up for a good shot is better spend dodging and firing energy weapons.

Swarm missile pods ARE a good idea. But the re-fire rate is, IMO, too high. If the re-fire rate was something like double the rate of all the original homing missiles it'll probably work.
