Compared to they way I used to use missiles I am horrified by the lack of damage on non-vanilla ships.
On Vanilla servers I usually had an Eagle, 1 tiz, 1 Lancer, wasp. Since it wasnt a RP server there was pretty much constant warfare, so you learn about pvp faster.
Dodging, wasps, aiming missiles, firing at the right time etc can all be learned through practice.
The lack of damage however, against non-vanilla ships, is a big blow. No wonder people say they can just dodge until he is out of ammo, the amount of CBs it takes to kill a non-vanilla armoured fighter is just staggering. Also noting that since people actually regen here, they can regen their shields as you fire a missile, so even against vanilla ships you could waste ammo.
A question though, Dab, were the wasps/hornets made less effective against missiles? There was never much problem blowing missiles up before.
