Basic Gunboat missles

I say, if they're gona make shield damage only missiles, make some hull damage only ones too.

That, or take the 200k energy suck off the darn things.

Yep, sounds good to me. Or delete them entirely. Waste of space.

Agreed, at least make them more energy efficient.
Right now its 33%-50% energy drain for GB but only 20% energy drain for Bomber, not counting in the quite high probablility of NOT hitting the target.

I doubt this thread will get anywhere the other one did not reach before it was shut down.

When the server is not lagging or full it is worth noting that they track pretty well, a turn speed of... 8.10 I think, which matches a lot of cruise disruptors.

If they did hull damage someone would cry again, people do not ever stop whining about gunboats, that is why they have been nerfed so many times since .83

What if the EMP missiles were faster and tracked better, but we also included GB torpedo turrets which fire more... classic GB missiles but for...something... nevermind.
This thread will go no where.

Well the other thread was shut down because it was talking about 'balance issues' in a 'mod bug' thread. That's why I put it here.

If there is no lag they work pretty well. You must know when to shoot it- when the fighter/bomber approach to you to deal snac/razor hit- so they eat the missile and take some direct hull dmg from your guns, other good option is that when you fight 2-3 snubs you could just spam with missile the one that is most away from you and make it dodge till you spray the other closer ones with turrets.
This however does not work if the GB missiles do not track- and they do not tack in 90% of the time.
So the problem is not in the missiles but in their tracking system.
I would also agree that adding 390k hull only missile with the 5k dmg would be nice option. I would also be happy to give the missiels more projective livetime because they cannot use their range effectively- they disappear a way before they reach the end of its range.. Missiles are defense guns not attacking ones use them as such.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Why do you nerf things that are OK just because there are people with MEDIOCRE skill at best? Hell, there should be a rule "Don't complain about balance, just better your skills. Failure to do so will result in a temporary mute of your forum account"

Guys, this is NOT acceptable. 200,000 energy for what? A mere 9,375 shield damage. IF IT HITS. If. Chances are, it will NOT hit, especially with CMs and dodging.

Also, this is for all who cry about gunboats. If you are a fighter/bomber and you got problems with gunboats, THEN RUN. Your thruster is 200 for a reason, just don't engage if you dont wanna die. Accept that you suck, get better and stop complaining how OP gunboats were.

And please, do something about gunboat missiles. As they are now, its NOT acceptable. Think of a better way to balance stuff, before making it useless, please.

Stop whining about GB missiles and better your skills. :rtfm:

When missiles don't track, because the server is full, I don't blame my skillz.

Don't care either way about missiles. But, do you realise the sheer hypocrisy of that post?
