Missile Turrets

[Tenacity]

MIssles would be deadly all the time but for some reason I find they dont track players half the time. They just fly straight like dumb fire missles.

You have to be facing the target when you fire the missile. Try to have your targeting reticuleover that red '+' when you fire the missiles, and they'll track much better.

That's why the gunboat has to keep moving and use it's manuverability to it's advantage. You need to engine kill so you can 'joust' the target, and you need to always be moving at max afterburner speed whenever you fire your missiles - as your own ship's speed is added to the missile projectile speed.

Standard missiles travel 140m/s I think. A gunboat on full thruster speed travels 139m/s. If you fire missiles while going at thruster speed, the missiles will end up with a 279m/s projectile speed, which is much harder for fighters to dodge.
