To compare, the most powerful original game homing missile - Firestalker - deals arond 2500 damage with 1 shot. It costs 260000. Is the Swarm so much more powerful and special? No, I don't think so.

You are right, I did say I was tired, not sure where 65000 came from. I had a decimal point in the wrong place. It is 2.25 times more powerful than the codename so energy would be 29.7 per missile. There's even less difference when compared to cannonball which was the original most powerful at 4890 hull (doesn't track as well as the firestalker though). So swarm has OK damage but it is still free, unlimited and nearly impossible to avoid. If left as it is I'll certainly be putting 2 on my Huegenot when I get it. :D
I guess though that the main issue was being able to mount it anywhere which you have solved. :)
