Missiles

[Zeltak]

Good one. But its strange then you hit ship with a missile (mostly bombers) and ti do the same damage as one gun... well? Unbalanced, agreed?

First you need to understand that it's not that easy as you make it to be. You can't say that all missiles hurt the same amount of damage on bombers as all guns. Because there are several different guns and there are several different missiles, all ranging between damage and tracking ability, short example: Cannonball hurt more but have a worser tracking ability compared to Sidewinder which has a very good tracking ability but damages twice the less.

Missiles (Class 9-10) mostly do about 1000 hull damage or more. As compared to the absolute strongest gun for a fighter/bomber is the Archangel which does 1400 hull damage (excluding Mini-Razor and Supernova), but it has a limited refire rate and it dosen't auto-track the enemy compared to missiles. Adding the fact that all missiles do a considerable damage to the enemy ship's guns, because of its splashing ability. Now guns can also strip away enemy guns but you have to aim really well to do so.

Now the real question is making missiles having infinite ammo, then contra to that suggestion, why not make countermeasures have infinite ammo too? Once again another debate about balancing that should not have taken place in a thread such as this one. You really want to change things apply to the development team and then try to join the balance crew. I don't really know how you do that but that's were things get decided (mostly) I believe, else what's the point of having such a team in the first place.

Bottom line, there is no point in debating this as it will not change anything anyways.

Edit: Some grammar errors.
