' Wrote:The max ammo carried by any ship for a specific weapon type is 70. Even if you have four missile launchers, you can only have 70 ammo for all of them if they're the same type of launcher.
Almost every ship in the game can use countermeasures - which have the same amount of 'ammo'. With a minimal amount of luck and skill, the target ship could easily run you out of ammunition and remain unharmed.
Further, while I was testing the liberty gunboat with 4 missile turrets in open singleplayer, it took an average of four to six volleys of missiles to destroy a nomad fighter, and more to destroy a BH hammerhead fighter. That's around 16-24 missiles used per target, which would leave the ship with no ammunition (and therefor zero ability to fight) after only 3-4 enemies.
Chances are, that ship would not be able to finish any missions for cash, and would end up unable to afford it's own ammo in a very short amount of time.
So please, no ammo requirements. I think they should take ammo requirements off of fighter missile launchers as well, maybe people would use them more often if that were the case.
I tested cannonballs + sidewinder combo on NPCs myself and after first hit hull is lowered on some 20-30 % on any NPC i fought ... after that next salvo only takes few % of NPC hull... and you have to switch to guns for finishing job cause hammerheads loose all destructible parts and explosives aren't so effective like before...
Now when you using missiles you have to be careful when and why are you firing them cause you have only certain number of them! And that is the trick...you can't constantly pressing missile launch button but think when and why are you launching them!!! I hope if Gb missile turrets get ammo same thing will happen.. you will not only use missile but you will combine guns and missiles to achieve your goals!
Imagine fighter fight with me using 2xParalizers 2xSidewinders and 2xCannonballs without any ammo in use... I would just keep pressing my missile launch button ..and you would dodge .. but you can't dodge forever.. and i can keep pressing my launch button forever cause i don't have ammo! And you have guns loadout and you can't touch me... (I mean you could with CDs, but with few tricks you really couldn't touch me)... would that be fun for you? NO! ... fun and display skills for me? NO! So I say Limit Gb ammo and fire it when you sure that you will hit something!
