Missiles everywhere!

[Dab]

edit: its not even "unfair" to mount missiles - when the opponent scans the weapons before fighting - its very very easy to evade missiles - the only way they hit is from straight front - while heading towards each other. - the firestalker "may" hit the rear of a ship sometimes, but thats only like when the enemy is flying in a straight line and drops no CM. ( oh - and ammo is really expensive replenishing a 6 missile fighter costs as much as the fighter itself )

I see you don't do much VHF vs VHF/bomber fighting.. Missiles are NOT so easy to dodge. Especially when you have 3 or more people firing at you, as well as dropping nuclear mines and torpedoes. You can dodge and dodge, but eventually you WILL get hit before they run out of missiles, and CMs have to drop 3 times before they pull the missiles off of you, which means you run out in under two minutes. In this people CAN fire just like a GB. Indiscriminately because they know eventually one will hit, and one is all they need. Out of ~ 420 ammo split between 3 ships, that gives them 420 chances to easily kill you. And dodging and trying to wait for the ammo to run out is impractical because you'll be dodging for the next hour, unless they are conservative, where you'll be dodging for even longer. And the above statements are still valid, for one hit and your dead, and out of 420, your gonna get hit eventually.

And your comment about the ammo.. Maybe as expensive as the ship, but armor and all factored in, not nearly. Plus people can get money so easily, ammo costs don't matter unless your loading 70 Nova torpedoes everytime. Ammo costs don't count for anything to be completely honest, they are so low, the ammo might as well be free.

I've fought Vanilla vs non-vanilla missile spam about 5 times a week for the past month.. It is QUITE unfair when the opponent's missile ship is a non-vanilla ship and yours is vanilla. If they were also vanilla, it'd be perfectly fine. But they aren't. So any missile hit, or blowing their missiles up with CDs would normally kill a Vanilla ship, and WILL kill you, but hurt your opponents only slightly. If this were not a problem, then why would the modding team be making all ship's explosive weakness equal?
