After having a look at the nightmare torpedo, I got flashbacks of homeworld 2, personally i'd love to see slow missiles that shoot upwards and slowly turn to their target like a real missile would when it's launched.
Yes to all of it. Although I wonder if the unguided battleship missiles are really interesting. People would probably go for cerbs instead, given how slow they are.

Besides the fact the parabolic ballistic trajectory makes exactly zero sense in outer space, it looks amazing.

Vaygr Battlecruiser and Destroyer with 5-6 vertical launchers, i love em

removal of fighter missile and torpedo has nothing to do with capital ones
as you can see gunboats-cruisers and battleships still have tracking missiles
Of course, because the gunboats, cruisers and battleship tracking missiles are very slow and their tracking speed is also slow.
Even a bug is faster than these, that's why they're not wiped out yet. Are slow, easy to avoid and inefficient. Useless equipment.
Keep up the good work, Titan! Just watched a few more of your videos, how did you make the battleships spawn like in a warzone? Is that a pop zone set with those encounters or did you tweak something else?

Oh, my God. Yes. Please. My kingdom for the Nightmare!
Others are very neat, I think, I would love to use them, but they aren't even close to the Nightmare.

Consider them being launchers perpendicular to the main axis of the ship, and it's suddenly more plausible. Few tubes sideways or on the bottom could reinforce that concept though, but I'm pretty sure that's easily doable now.
I highly suggest you forward the actual code to either @Teerin @Xalrok or @Durandal
Might be fun to throw something in for the upcoming patchfix.

a vertical launcher would be more efficient in terms size reduction. A large turreted ring takes up space for the motor and stabilization suites, and a single vertical launch tube opens up more room for more torpedoes. 'fixed' launchers also make PvP more dynamic.

I'd prefer using these vertical 'launch tube' weapons instead of a normal turreted 'missile pod' type things.
