With all the talk about the missile turrets and stuff, I was wondering why the Discovery CD speeds are so much slower than vannilla CD speeds. I used to play on a vannilla server, as I suppose most of you did at one point. CD's were a major factor in fighting and using them properly became a real skill in battle. Its the same for missile release also.
The problem I've encountered with the CD's here, is that they are too slow to reach the target to have any luck of blowing up the assailants missiles/torps/mines in their face. Its giving alot of power to those who just missile spam without any skill. Just come out of the turn and fire em, as opposed to waiting for the right distance/moment to fire, or worrying about CD's.
I'm perfectly fine with this really. I'll just have to change my fighting style. I was just wondering what brought about the changes to this from vannilla? Were there problems that brought this change about?

This constant is set to 300 in Vanilla. I'm not intended to increase it higher than 350. Also, I don't think that cruise disruptor speed was lowered in comparison to Vanilla... at least I've never done this intentionally.
Can anyone confirm this issue (compare to Vanilla)?
I still play on a vannilla server, so I'll have a look. If I'm wrong all along, Igiss can slap me! :crazy:
EDIT:
Just checked. The Wasp's speed is 700ms on vannilla. Not sure on the Hornet, but I think its about 900-1000ms. It's definately faster than the Wasp, thats for sure.
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.

I don't know what is written in the infocards, for infocards for weapon damage/rate/range are generated automatically by Freelancer depending on the code. But here's the code... you see, speed never exceeds 350.
