Silo Missiles

[Fab]

I've noticed a huge demand for more missile types, including the aesthetic silo missiles. So, I re-implemented them in version 5.0:

does this means silos are coming back? No. Maybe. It depends on the developer team's final say.

silo missiles were removed because they didn't fit into the current approach to missiles: low agility, fast top speed, fast reloads. server performance, even. did you know there are missiles such as the nomad torpedo with 37 seconds of lifetime? the silo missile on the video has 25 seconds of lifetime.

well, why they can't be the exact opposite of that?:

Forward missiles have low agility, have fast top speeds, reload fast and are energy efficient.
Silo missiles are agile, sluggish, have slow reloads and are inefficient, but still quite efficient in relation to guns. also, they're not as spammy as forward missiles because of their energy cost and reload times. since they're slower, they're slightly tankier to guns, too, but not by a huge margin. A marauder has 1440 health, a silo missile could have 3000 health.

vote on the poll if you'd like them back... or not.
