mounts

[Deathstalker]

IIRC, damage bonus and range bonus do not affect seekers if added in 'mount' form...They only work if added in component form into the actual components.txt file, (ie, add a totally new weapon called bombard missile etc), the screen may say there is extra damage when a mount is added, but fire one at a target and then calculate the damage manually, you will see it does normal damage instead. Range bonuses will allow the missile to be fired earlier, but it will still only go out to the normal range and then 'disappear'.....

At least this was the case a few patches ago when I had missile mounts, havn't used them since 1.19...(the only one I use that works is a mount that 1/2's the weight of the component, thus making a 'mini-missile', making missiles more dangerous)...
