Missiles deserve their own thread.

My main issue w/ missiles is the following:

1) They should all be aspect-seeking (requiring a lock to fire) or dumb-fire. None of this heat-seaking fire-and-forget BS.
2) They should fly and die twice as fast.
3) There should be a counter-measure system in-place (flares/chaffs) that is default equipment on all the ships and has the opportunity to fail if you arent skilled. None of this PWD100 bullshit.

+1 for missile counters like flares or chaffs....

I have used missle locks before. And target locks.

The missle lock worked by hitting a key,, my right mouse button, while the ret is on the target until you get a lock. ding... the lock lasts for one second. enough time to set a macro for multi missles. or missle combos. One can fire a missle but without a lock they go straight. So that means one cannot fire at someone behind them if missle locks are used. it also causes miss fires when the lock goes away before the peep gets his missles off. The only down side is the macro.

The target lock i used was a modx. put on a gun that had bad accuracy. One could put a target lock, a range enhancer, a dammage mod, but usuly only one at a time unless they know a cheat.

I'm not saying its that difficult to deal with. my point is that is lame as fuck when your in danger of instant armor damage to 1 missile thats maneuverable as hell.

I don't like pvp when I hit the target in front of me 12 times in a row and on the 13th and final shot and explosion I read "bishop has killed (insert oct quant name here)" god that makes me mad , then the inevitable "got to dock my shields are down to 97%" over teamspeak. I miss bishop.

Then fly something else other than MF.

If that's directed at me Radi, I've been flying the phoon exclusively for a while now thank you very much.

[Istanbul]

i'm pretty sure he said that to biteme

[Radi]

Keep guessing.

He probably stole me from you plenty. I'd get mad, because you earned it, dammit!

Radi is talking about me!

i like that missile lock idea, and the chaff/flares.

and yeah one thing thats always pissed me off about PVP game in general is what biteme said, you've almost killed ur target and then some random person comes, gets the last hit and gets the kill point/mark, whatever u wanna call it.

[netburnr]

Its called Kill Stealing, and I was really good at it when I used the tense
