Missiles

[Grumblesaur]

Missiles are vital to a fight, in my opinion. I rarely use them, but every side should have a fighter with at least 2 missile launchers on it. Why? Anti-bomber. Bombers have a ton of armor. Guns aren't going to cut it,most of the time. A good combo for a fighter would be: Adv. or Imp. Debilitators x 4 and Missiles x 2. Bombers are well of for now, as most good pilots can take most ships down [in packs or alone].

Really, I side with Jinx on this one. I scan my opponent, or component scan [ship wireframe readout] so I know what I'm up against, unless it's a fighter furball. It's YOUR fault if you prance into a fight with a fighter with 6 missiles. Besides, if you tail the missile fighter the whole time, they can't hit you unless they have mines or a rear-firing turret.

Besides, the vanilla weakness will be removed next mod and missiles won't WTFpwn every ship. It'll help with RPing in fights. People get ticked when they have full health one second, and are dead the next. Pilots do like to know what exactly happened to them, so they know how to react in system chat.

Firing missiles, although contrary to popular belief, takes about the same skill as using a sunslayer or SN. You have to time it right. You fire to soon, they'll see it coming and peel off. You fire to late, and they shoot off in a straight line.

When I get back into the game, I think I'll get two debs for my bomber and slap on a Firestalker/Cannonball on there. Sure, it might be unfair, but it's not abuse, it's strategy.
