Practicing with guns

[Adam_Spire]

Well you wanted to know about missile boats. I haven't tried one for a while so here it goes. I used the 6 gun Border World Heavy Fighter. In single player its a one hit wonder against bombers and fighters. Most things go down with one volly of all 6 missiles hitting them at once. The blast radius is plenty to end a bomber, but an armored one would take two hits, maybe three. SNAC does it better.

I fought in a real pvp 4 badguys and 4 good guys and me. I waited each time for the target circle to spin, (I think, hope that means its locked on) and fired, and turned away to avoid blast damage. After 12 times, I never scored a it. I did notice with all the CDs and random mines floating around there is a fantastic chance they were being destroyed before getting close to the target, but I was about 400-600 m range when I fired. Typical gun range. In the end, my 6 missiles must have hit a mine or cd at close range and that was the end of me.

Perhaps one on one, has a better chance for success, but in close quarter combat, I'm supprised I didnt wipe out an ally in the attack. Im sure with a ramming speed and firing move I could take one out, but thats really bad RP and pvp.

Lag and different connection speeds also factor into not hitting anything or the wrong things. I'll give it another week before I go full Civilian guns. If I can at least eke some scored hits, I'll see what Im doing and repeat it.

Don't give up the fight!
