Missiles everywhere!

[Dab]

In no sense missiles and guns are just the same as far as PvP is concerned.

Not in the current mod version. Guns deal equal damage no matter who fires them or who gets hit by them. There is no 'weakness' to one gun or 'resistance to another beyond shields, which are interchangable and your decision.

Vanilla fighters don't get to 'pick' to be weak to missiles, and non-vanilla ones 'strong' to them. And many people don't have the luxury of picking a non-vanilla ship just so that they aren't weak to missile spam. Missiles are stronger against vanilla and weaker against non-vanilla, guns are even to everyone. Guns are aimed, missiles are just fired and aim for themselves. Yes, there are ways to increase the chances of hitting with missiles, but when 3 RTs fight 1 Sabre or 1 Templar, they can spam without thought and eventually hit him. So how does that make them even in any way?

Once the vanilla vulnerability is gone, you'll be right. They will be even. But right now they are anything but. I'm not saying how many you have to use, but I won't have respect for someone in a non-vanilla fighter who goes to attack vanilla fighters and packs 3 or more missiles, including torps. I could go rape a bunch of vanilla ships that way to, but why? To get some easy and cheap kills?


EDIT: I'd like to say this again because people have kind of misunderstood what I'm saying.. If your a vanilla fighter, I don't care how many missiles or torps you use, because its fair for you and your opponent. Your just as vulnerable as your opponent is, and no one has an uneven advantage due to the lack of ship explosive balance. So using an Eagle, like Del, is fine in my opinion.
