[globalplayer-svk]

I vote no missiles. Last time I fought an Order GB with 1 missile, I killed it solo with my Orchid Bomber because it relied too heavily on it's missiles. I didn't even use any CMs to kill it.
If you have any rear firing turrets it can't hurt to put a missile on it, but don't rely on it to kill your opponents. Chain firing Basics seems to be a good way to kill bombers, it's the only tactic I've had used against me that has done more than scratch my shield in a group fight.

Depends which gunboat, however, usually one.

One missile maximum, any more = waste of slots.

I agree with Robert Fitzgerald, one missile maximum. Two missiles are only good for npc popping, and I found they often bugged, switching recharge timers with one another.

Missiles are very useful when you fight bombers, because they allow you to dodge and still put out a reasonable amount of dps. Perhaps for some people using missiles is for nubbins, but I never claim to be an ace pilot.

I'll toss my ring into the hat here. It really depends on the GB. Some are more suited than others. I gave up my missiles and run straight guns on my IMG Gunboat. I find missiles on that ship to be pretty useless. They've honestly been nerf'd to the point of why bother? For the Order GB, gotta say 2 is prolly over kill on the missiles.

Take care

I guess it depends on the sort of gunboat. Missiles really aren't all that useful most of the time.

My Kusari Explorer carries two, though. Reason being that the slots they're in can usually only fire backwards, but however it works out, the missiles can go straight forwards too. And it has a power plant capable of firing three at once, so there's still plenty of energy left for the other turrets. Oh, and the turning on the thing is horrible.

I have i rear turret

My salvager uses one missile (on the center forward slot) and 5 zoner gb turrets.

I used to use 6 zoner gb turrets, and did very well in pvp against xenos, brigands, etc. with that setup... I havent really had a chance to test out my missile setup yet.

I consider GB missile to wear and tear weps used for bringing down a dogged fighter/bomber. If I need to make a maximum mark and damage I go for the guns.
