Missile ship - Luka - 03-08-2012
' Wrote:Sorry to burst your balloon,
as a player with horrible aim I have been experimenting with both missiles and guns a lot.
Guns are way more accurate and reliable then missiles.
Basically, missiles suck.
I think that you formed your opinion on maybe one lucky kill you've made with missiles (if they DO hit they are quite nice)
Don't just say "I've experimented with both" like if you really have MY aiming (the worst in game, I'm sure of it)
Oh I've actually made my opinion on how much I suck with guns and never ever won a fight with them, and how I started kicking ass and winning a fair amount of them when I started using missiles, I've never actually hit anything with guns, even at point blank and the target standing still, I simply miss with guns, however with missiles I'm able to blow them up. Dude I really don't like guns but missiles are AWESOME!
Now, if you're just going to say "practice" then just don't post anything, I said like a million times it didn't work, I'm not getting guns, period. It's REALLY getting annoying:angry:

An Arrow is fast - but then you could go for any LF and get 4 gun slots to use instead of two.
The LFs advantage is being able to turn fast enough to launch a missile whilst the enemy is still turning (and vulnerable to missile attack).

Another option which is somewhat like the Sabre but probably different is the Osprey. Like the Sabre you get an extra gun for doing gun things, so you can have 2 Deb turrets and 3 guns, then use 2 missiles and be happy. Dunno how it moves or anything, but it's there, and it comes with a bounty from the Zoners (last I checked)! But no one goes after individual bounties because they're hard to carry out, anyway.
That said if you put a missile on a Light Fighter, most people will probably laugh at you. Or at least I would.
Also if you can't use missiles, you're probably doing something horribly wrong.

I'm not sure what to think of missiles - I have had times where I missile'd everything like a boss and other times where I can't hit at all. Someone told me it has to do with server lag, but I'm not sure. Have you thought about building a missile gunship/gunboat?
Edit: The Osprey looks nice and handles ok, but it is big and chunky. I only tested it out for a couple of days and I am not really a pro pvp'er by any means, but I'd rather go for a 3 x missile launcher + 2 x deb turret Touketsu civilian VHF

yeah it's lag, it makes missiles not home in, for that time you can use a debspam to taunt people on you. I actually though of getting a KusEX, but I don't have money for it yet.
Tokutetsu? don't know it's stats, would have on the test list though....

Its a VHF, highly agile and only sporting 3 guns / turrets. Its armor is a bit on the weak side though.

And the ol' Explorer is a beast too, especially with turret steering vs. snubs.

'Kay, tested the spatial in conn, many thanks to Craig for helping me practice.:laugh:
So the ship though it's big it has a nice handling and can hold by itself pretty good, also It can hold 6 missiles and 2 foward firing turrets, fit all the missiles with cannonball/lancer, sidewinder/firestalker and paralizer/neutralizer, then you can group the cannonlancer for CD baiting, neuralizer for shield stomping and Q'ing for max power. it's got enought firepower to lower a GBs shield (add a SNAC and you're an effective MRLS/Bomber) and firing all missiles can do a LOT of damage.
So for short: somewhat of a glass cannon given it's size, but more on the cannon part than the glass part;)

oh...wow, I just used it on a PVP against Rogues in mahattan:
there's was a barghest and GB, 2 ships helping me (a liberator and a cutlass), fight with barghest was nice with missiles blowing his shield up, then....well he took a snac + all missiles to the face, huge explosion + extreme overkill, it was hilarious:laugh:
Then I moved to the GB, it blew up the cutlass but missiles were able to take his shield down:shok:, then snac and missiles could lower his hull nicely, all hit and he would be left at less than a half of his health.
The ship proved to be a real fighter here: a good all around ship that's able to take on both Caps and fighters;)
