Curious about missiles

[BobMacaroni]

missile damage was reduced due to the fact that armor upgrades were removed (so everything has half the health), the fact that you can now mount two of them, and you dont have to give up a CD. (or at least that's what it looks like to me)

I've used missiles a fair bit on snubs (never caps, I don't recommend using them on caps, as they are not very effective when you are outnumbered). I would say that light missiles are the easiest to use, with Liberty Peacekeepers being my personal favourite. Light missiles are stupid easy to use, and if you can't aim, they're a very easy way to even the odds against better players,though you won't learn as much from pvp with them, and I think they'll get nerfed in 5.1, since they are a little OP.

Sidewinders and Firestalkers are good jf you can force your opponent to joust or box you, otherwise I wouldn't use them. Cannonballs are pretty fun and definitely underused (they are actually not that bad)
however it's the same situation, just with more blind fire.

Missiles are best when either you have a 7 gun ship (if you want to mount two of them) or you have a high DPS loadout and you can spare an extra gun. Your opponent will try and wide-turn to avoid them, so you can use that against them. Just don't get too reliant on missiles and you'll be fine
